It is our pleasure today to welcome Theo Rossi — who plays Juice Ortiz on Sons of Anarchy — to the latest UPROXX Live Q&A, although I hope that Juice’s character does not meet the same fate as that of our last Sons of Anarchy guest.
You might not know it, but Theo Rossi is actually something of a veteran television actor: He’s been around for over a decade, and he’s had roles in a lot of shows with which we’re all familiar: Malcolm in the Middle, Veronica Mars, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Alcatraz, and a lot more (including Cloverfield), so he’s had the chance to work with a lot of talented people both in front of and behind the camera.
Today is your opportunity to ask Theo about Sons of Anarchy, what it’s like on the set of the show (particularly in light of a certain squabble last week), what it’s like to work with Kurt Sutter, and how’s the mood on set now that Ryan Hurst is gone, and you can ask him about the spectacular guest cameo in last night’s episode. You might also want to ask him what it’s like being the youngest looking 37 year-old on television.
The chat is scheduled to begin at 2 PM EST, and will go for about an hour, which will give you plenty of time to come up with questions for him. Here are a couple of tips to help this all run smoothly as possible: 1) Begin your questions to Theor with “@Theo” or “@Theo Rossi” to keep things organized and allow him to find your questions easily, and 2) Feel free to load up some questions ahead of time.
I get the feeling this guy is going to be a blast to chat with.
