Sons of Anarchy

Henry Rollins, born February 13, 1961 in Washington, D.C., is an American actor, musician and activist of progressive causes who plays the role of AJ Weston on the FX original series Sons of Anarchy. Making his debut on the episode "Albification" in the series' second season, Henry plays the role of a high-ranking member of the Aryan Brotherhood. A lieutenant and right-hand man of Ethan Zobelle, leader of the League of American Nationalists, AJ is an extremely violent ex-convict and ardent white supremacist, albeit also being a loving single father of two young sons, Cliff and Duke. He served as one of the two primary antagonists in Season 2 (the other being Ethan Zobelle), and meets his demise on the episode "Na Trioblóidí" in the same season.

Biography[]

In 1980 Henry Rollins was a teenager living in Arlington, Virginia, just over the river from Washington, DC. He worked as the shift manager for a Haagen-Dazs ice cream shop near Georgetown University, and was a huge fan of a Southern California punk rock band called Black Flag. One day he and his friend Ian MacKaye (who later formed Fugazi) drove to New York City to see Black Flag play at the Peppermint Lounge. They played later at a small club down the street, and Henry jumped on stage and took the mike for a song.

A few days later he was called back to New York to audition for the band. Henry spent the next six years riding in vans, sleeping in the back of trucks, getting beaten and mauled on stage and fronting the baddest, most primal rock-and-roll band in the history of the world. Since 1986 Henry has enjoyed a more pleasant lifestyle and career as a singer. He is a published (and often lucid) poet. His band, Rollins Band, was a highlight of the Woodstock '94 concert. His autobiography, "Get In The Van", is available in print and as a self-narrated compact disc. He has written several articles for Details, an American magazine.
