Exciting news! Another Sons of Anarchy fave, quite possibly one of the best loved of that series, Ryan Hurst (Opie Winston, SOA), is coming to Bates Motel, the A&E Psycho prequel television series that just launched its third season yesterday.

The actor begins his 6-episode arc next Monday with Episode 3.2 “The Arcanum Club,” playing “against” type as Chick Hogan, a motorcycle shop dealer who has a little side illegal firearms business (you think he does business with Teller-Morrow Automotive Repair?). Hurst will be reunited with former SOA cast mate Kenny Johnson (Kozik, SOA) as Caleb, and according to A&E, will have a direct storyline with each other that includes Dylan (Max Thieriot).

Check out the photo of Hurst from Bates Motel and the video promo for Episode 3.2 here below.

If you are not caught up on Bates Motel, Season 1 and Season 2 ….spoiler ahead!

Last season, Bates Motel brought us ever closer to the character Anthony Perkins made iconic, the 1960 Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, with the ending of season 2 a direct homage. Freddie Highmore‘s Norman stared right through us. We also got to see the stirrings of the split personality that emerges in the later years.
