You Think Katey Sagal Will Get Nominated For An Acting Emmy This Year?
I do.
Altogether, the acting ensemble cast does some great work. I’ll write about them all, individually, soon.
Sons Of Anarchy Surprised Me By Being Such A Quality Show.
(You can watch full episodes from my Hollywood Actor Prep sidebar. Go to the bottom right of this page that you are reading.—>)
With really great writing; besides the original characters and subject… And great stuff from actors, which I’ve mentioned.
I didn’t start watching this show until it’s second season. Steadily, it has become my favorite show on television.
Now, I’m sorry I missed the first season. Luckily, it’s on DVD. There’s also a wonderful catch-up on Hulu, which has summaries of Sons Of Anarchy, each and every episode. You can click a preference, on Hulu, to play the episode summaries one-after-another without interruption. I suggest that; it’s a serial, with the storyline continuing throughout the episodes. I don’t suggest coming in late in the game for one episode. And it is you that will miss out.
Sons Of Anarchy, or SAMCRO, is a fabulous television series. I see the TV critics have caught on too.
Katey Sagal Has Always Been Known For Her Character Acting
Remember Mrs Peg Bundy?
Like a fine wine, she has moved into this role as only an experienced actress could. As someone with her acting strength and abilities.
There’s another acting quality about Katey Sagal that is so very valuable. She has what I call an “accessible, apparent soul”. Everyone that watches her connects to her, as if they know her; it’s not just that the audience likes her. More accurately, I think that they feel her soul. They see her soul, and connect to it.
Don’t you? Even playing the broadest of characters, as Peg Bundy was; the reason that she was so successful at it was because that character was rooted in a sense of realness because of Katey’s soul accessibility. There’s less of a distance between her and the audience, than the audience has with other actors.
Call me kookoo. I call it as I see it.
Katey Sagal gives off soul. Humanity.
Across the great divide of the medium, people in the audience connect to her, and easily…soul-to-soul.
Soul. Soul to Soul. Soulful. An Accessible soul.
Okay. Enough ethereal stuff.
In this video, she talks about how she approaches the acting, and works on this lead character, Gemma, in Sons Of Anarchy.
She also talks about the writer, Kurt Sutter. I liked him already, because he wrote such a great female character. It inspired a little more faith in the changing industry, and their conventionally archaic women’s roles, and stifling ageism.
What I heard, on second viewing of this, is that showrunner, Sutter (who is @sutterink on Twitter)
…Is also Katey Sagal’s husband.
Well, then, throw out my newfound hope for the industry. But, swelled is my heart about how beautiful that is. Now, I am all inspired about romantic coupling, and great dynamics of artistic types.
Actually, don’t throw it out my newfound hope about The Industry, either: This show is a success. Which means copycatting. It will change the business. Katey and her husband, they will.
She’s great in this show, and everybody knows knows it. The ensemble of actors are great, too.
Great acting is powerful. Makes changes. Already has…
Always my best,

Thank you, karmically.
I love that you covered Katey Segal. My husband has the honor of acting with her on CSI for a day and made her laugh in a scary scene. He said she was just a joy to work with and so much fun. I hope that, as a 22 yr old, hollywood stops the ageism.
