After its highest-rated season ever, Sons of Anarchy closed Season 4 in a way that clearly paves the way for an already highly anticipated Season 5.

During this recent interview, he talked about the rise in ratings, the influence that fans have on the show, where he sees things heading with everybody’s favorite characters, what he sees for his own character, Otto, and how he’s hoping to have seven seasons to tell this story, but that he’d be open to more.

On the FX drama series Sons of Anarchy, actor Ray McKinnon has been a memorable addition to Season 4, as Assistant U.S. District Attorney Lincoln Potter.

With this season coming to a close, Collider got the opportunity to speak with Ray McKinnon for this exclusive interview about how he’s both grateful and baffled that show creator Kurt Sutter asked him to join the show, his fear that his take on the character wouldn’t be well-received, how lucky he feels to have been a part of such great storytelling, and that he feels Lincoln’s storyline was pretty well wrapped up, by the end of the season. He also talked about the pilot that he’s developing for the Sundance Channel, about a man who is released from death row after nearly two decades, due to some conflicting DNA evidence.
