Marilyn Manson to play white supremacist in Sons Of Anarchy

Marilyn Manson is set to appear in the seventh season of US drama Sons Of Anarchy, playing a white supremacist.

The musician will have a recurring role in the drama, which details the lives of a motorbike gang and was first broadcast in 2008.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Manson's character will be named Ron Tully, a white supremacist prison shot-caller whom Charlie Hunnam's Jax uses to expand his empire.

"Sons has been such a big part of my life, as well as my father's." said Manson in a statement. "So I was determined to make him proud by being involved in what will probably be remembered as the most amazing piece of television cinema."

He added: "After all, the very heart of SOA is about that relationship. So, now all I need is a motorcycle."

This won't be Manson's first acting credit - he's previously appeared in TV shows Once Upon A Time, Eastbound & Down and Californication, and films Lost Highway, Party Monster and Jawbreaker.

Sons Of Anarchy season seven is scheduled for broadcast in September.
