Sons Of Anarchy Season 7: Lea Michele To Guest Star In The TV Drama Series As 'Glee' Star Praised By Katey Sagal!

Glee star Lea Michele is a part of Sons of Anarchy's final and she made her debut on October 14. She even gets to share screen time with one of Sons of Anarchy's most powerful characters.

Michele's guest role was confirmed back in July. This past weekend at the Los Angeles premiere of the FX series, Michele and her new co-stars talked to E! News about the show's final and seventh season.

Michele stated, "I am such a fan. I watch Sons in my Glee trailer," she added, "It was such an honor and to get to play this character and be a part of the show that I love so much."

Apparently, Michele has traded in that microphone for a cigarette in style. The actress who has received much critical praise for her portrayal of Rachel Berry (Glee) earning her two Golden Globe Award noms for Best Actress starred in her first TV role besides Glee. The 28-year-old actress and the producers as well as stars of Sons of Anarchy raved to HollywoodLife.com about how fascinated they were with Michele.

Kim Coates who plays the role of Tig, said, "I don't watch a lot of television either but she's a flat out star," he added, "And she's just such a cutie and I hear she did an amazing job. Like a really amazing job."

In the third episode, Lea plays the role of Gertie, a truck stop-diner waitress. Katey Sagal who portrays, Gemma, mother of leader Jax who leans on Gertie during an unpleasant time. The two bonded extremely well over their similarities and even shared a cigarette together.

Wouldn't it be great to see her back?

Paris Barclay, executive producer of Sons of Anarchy said, "She brought something totally different from Rachel. I am so excited! I remember seeing her in Spring Awakening when she was just a Broadway actress, and I knew there was a lot deeper actor there then what we have been able to use before or what we have seen on Glee." Barclay has previously worked with Lea when he directed multiple episodes of Glee.

Paris said, "She has a completely different part then Rachel, everything Rachel is, this women isn't," he further added, "I mean she is a down home regular woman who is kind of grumpy and she doesn't care about her appearance. She smokes! I mean, Rachel smoking, I don't think Rachel smoking would ever happen."

Paris was all praise for the actress who has been on television since 2009 when Glee began. He said, she "killed" the role and it was actually one of the shortest days on set, since she was "so prepared!"
