Six-time Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has scored a recurring role on "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter's forthcoming FX period drama "The Bastard Executioner". The blood-soaked medieval epic follows a 14th century warrior (Lee Jones) whose life is forever changed when a divine messenger beseeches him to lay down his sword and lead the life of a journeyman executioner. Sheeran will play Sir Cormac, an ambitious and deadly protege of a high-ranking church elder.
