Fans of "Sons of Anarchy" know all too well that the series is never short of shocking deaths. In fact, almost every main character meets his/her demise over the course of the seven seasons. Mark Boone Junior's Bobby "Elvis" Munson came close to lasting the duration but ended up going out with a literal bang a few episodes short of the series finale. Boone validated anyone believing the realistic emotional reaction his cast members' had during his death scene by telling EW, "I just think the scene between Charlie [Hunnam] and Tommy [Flanagan] over the blood is really indicative of how brutal they took it. And then you got DL [David Labrava] literally sobbing in the back of the van. I don't think any of that was acting, really."

As for Boone himself, his reaction to his character's demise didn't really hit him until after he watched the episode when it aired. In fact, since that final day of shooting, he took on work to distract himself from it. "I've been pretty busy. I've done a couple of movies since I was eliminated," he said. But that didn't keep Boone from the "Sons of Anarchy" set, which still had four whole episodes to shoot. "I was there for the last table read and stuff like that. We had a party the last day of the shoot at the stages," he said. No doubt emotions ran high throughout filming the rest of the series, and these types of unscripted emotions — like the scene Bobby was killed — were part of what made the show great.
