Kurt Sutter

Project: Mayans M.C.

It’s safe to say that one of the factors for career longevity in Hollywood is to think twice before saying or writing anything. After all, the shows that the industry produces have great degree of impact on its viewers. However, nobody seems to have given Kurt Sutter this memo, considering that is exactly what got him fired from his own show. The “joke” he wrote into the script was aimed at Disney and was his way of “hitting back” at the studio for trying to meddle with the production of his own program. In an interview, Sutter admitted that it was his own fault for “underestimating” the power Disney had.

As you might already now, Sutter was the writer, director, and producer for the shows The Shield and Sons of Anarchy. The latter, of course, provided inspiration for Mayans. While we’re sure this wouldn’t be too big of a blow to his career, we wonder if it’ll make him think twice about his words next time.
