Sheridan Left 'Sons of Anarchy' Over Low Pay
1 Mar
Summary
- Taylor Sheridan exited 'Sons of Anarchy' due to low salary.
- His pay was less than most other cast members on the show.
- Sheridan chose to leave acting for directing due to this insult.
Before achieving widespread fame for creating Paramount's popular dramas such as 'Yellowstone,' Taylor Sheridan had a notable acting career. His most recognized on-screen role was Deputy Chief David Hale in the FX series 'Sons of Anarchy.' Sheridan's tenure on the show concluded prematurely due to a contentious contract negotiation during its third season.
According to Sheridan, the offer was significantly less than what other actors on the show received, which he found insulting. He recalled being told by FX's legal team that he was not worth more than his offered salary. This perceived lack of value led Sheridan to decide against a long-term acting career, opting instead to pursue opportunities behind the camera.
