English actor Charlie Hunnam is best known for playing Jackson (“Jax”) Teller in the FX crime drama Sons of Anarchy (2008–14). The show follows the tumultuous activities of a California chapter of a motorcycle gang resembling the Hells Angels. Teller is the conflicted son of the founder of the club, which, echoing the fraught family dynamics of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, has been run by his stepfather and his mother since his father’s death. Throughout the show, Teller wrestles with becoming the gang’s leader or leaving the life entirely.
