Mayans MC introduced again a number of Sons of Anarchy characters, together with Chuck Marstein. Chuck was a bookkeeper for the Sons of Anarchy who proved particularly helpful at occasions. By the time of the spinoff collection, he’s handed on to work for the Mayans MC. Right here’s what we learn about how Chuck got here to work for the Mayans and why he’s not in the present.
How did the Mayans get Chuck from the Sons of Anarchy?
Chuck was first launched in Sons of Anarchy as a buddy of Otto’s in jail who beforehand labored for the Lin Triad. He had a compulsive masturbation dysfunction which finally led to Lin reducing off all however two of his fingers. The Sons of Anarchy finally took Chuck off the Lin Triad’s fingers. Tig Trager set him up as a bookkeeper at Luann Delaney’s studio, the place he proved his usefulness over time.
Later, Chuck reappears in the spinoff collection, Mayans MC. He’s first proven in the season 1 episode “Escorpión/Dzec” in the entrance workplace of the Mayan’s junkyard, referred to as the Romero Brothers Scrap and Salvage. Coco makes a remark that the Mayans gained Chucky in a recreation of playing cards. Kurt Sutter revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that there gained’t be rather more elaboration than that.
“There’s a reference to it. There’s this throwaway line that Coco has in episode six or something like that where we find out why [Chucky is] there. It’s just this thrown away thing and you realize, ‘Oh, my god. That’s why he’s there.’ But there’s never an exploration of it, an explanation of it. He’s just there and in a very Chucky-esque way. Then you get a sense that he’s there creating new relationships.”
Chuck helped bridge the hole between ‘Sons of Anarchy’ and ‘Mayans MC’
It’s oddly heartwarming to see Chuck in Mayans MC and it helped bridge the hole from Sons of Anarchy to the spinoff. “It was one of those things where you’re setting up the dynamics of the world and who are the players, and as you get into the episodes, you can expand those layers,” Sutter instructed THR.
“I knew we had our clubhouse and the club itself is set in this scrapyard world where that’s their day job and that’s where the clubhouse is located … and I also knew there would have to be some sense of the reality of how that world operates. So, who are the external players in that world making it function? I remember thinking, ‘Well, I want to create a character who’s running the front office. Who’s my Chucky here?’ Then I went, ‘Well … maybe it’s Chucky!’”

“He’s a drifter, traveling around, and the thing about him is that he represents this blind love and loyalty to whoever gives him a place to be and a job and a reason to be there, to be part of the family,” Chuck actor Michael Ornstein instructed THR. “Once he’s in that place, he has this deep loyalty to that place. I just love that. It’s such an honor to play someone as pure as that.”
Right here’s why Michael Ornstein didn’t return for seasons 3 and 4
Ornstein’s position in Mayans MC has since tapered off. The actor has not appeared as Chuck since season 2. The collection defined that Chuck fell in love with a lady and moved to Ohio. There have been really plans for Ornstein to return to the collection, however they didn’t work out because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
“The time when I was supposed to go film was right around the Thanksgiving rush,” Ornstein defined to Comic Book Resources in 2021, “when it was just absolutely impossible for me to make that trip cross country.” At the time, the actor wasn’t certain if Chucky would ever return, however he didn’t rule it out both. “Chucky is a character that could really turn up anywhere at any time,” he instructed CBR.
