Is Eric Roberts in sons of anarchy?

Answer 1

No, Eric Roberts is not in SOA. Although there is some resemblance and the character looks like a surgically altered or older Eric Roberts, the actor that plays Deputy Chief Hale's older brother is Jeff Kober. Please see the below references, one regarding Jeff's role in SOA and the other about Jeff himself. If you look at the pics from the second link, you will see the resemblance.
