Pardon me, but are you a fan of Shakespeare? Do you have a penchant for watching acclaimed crime shows that are centered around or inspired by Shakespearean narratives and themes? Well, let us introduce you to Kurt Leon Sutter (born May 5, 1960), an American screenwriter, director, producer, and actor for such shows. He was one of the chief creative forces behind the show as he produced, wrote, and directed many episodes on ''Series/TheShield'', and also appeared on the show as Armenian mobster Margos Dezerian in its earlier seasons. Sutter also created the outlaw motorcycle club serial drama known as ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'' on FX; he wrote, produced, and directed the series, as well as playing fan favorite and jailed club member Otto Delaney. He also co-created the ''Sons of Anarchy'' spinoff ''Series/MayansMC'', which premiered in 2018, serving as its show-runner until his dismissal in October 2019 due to "inappropriate behavior" backstage (though, at that point, he handed the reins to the series over to co-creator Elgin James).
