The actor who portrayed Opie Winston on Sons of Anarchy, Ryan Hurst, continued his acting career by taking on a significant role in another popular television series.
Ryan Hurst's Post-Sons of Anarchy Career
Seven years after his memorable run as Opie, Ryan Hurst joined the cast of The Walking Dead in 2019. In this post-apocalyptic drama, Hurst played the character Beta, a prominent member of the Whisperers. Beta was depicted as a former country singer in his life before the apocalypse. Within the ranks of the violent Whisperer group, Beta quickly rose through the hierarchy, first serving as their Second-in-Command and eventually becoming the de facto leader of the collective.
His portrayal of Beta showcased a stark contrast to his role as Opie, further demonstrating his versatility as an actor.
