Richard Bachman Returns from the Grave

Richard Bachman, ergo Stephen King, author of the book series known as "The Bachman Books" made his guest appearance for season 3 episode 3, in the TV series "Sons of Anarchy" on FX. Kurt Sutter, writer and director, mentioned in a blog post, here, 'in 2009' that Stephen King was a fan of the series, so he reached out to the author and asked him if he would like a spot on the FX series as a guest star. Stephen King said yes to Kurt Sutter's request for appearing in the series and ended up playing the part as Bachman, a weird "mafia style corpse cleaner" that Stephen King nailed perfectly, I personally couldn't stop laughing out loud, and wished that we see him again in the FX show. Richard Bachman is a pseudonym used by the extremely famous horror fiction author Stephen King. The link between King and the shadow writer became undeniable when a persistent Washington D.C. bookstore clerk, Steve Brown, could not believe that Bachman and King were not one and the same, and eventually located publisher's records at the Library of Congress naming King as the author of one of Bachman's novels. This led to a press release heralding Bachman's "death" — supposedly from "cancer" of the pseudonym. At the time of the announcement in 1985, Stephen King was working on Misery, which he had planned to release as a Bachman book.
