Jimmy Smits will return as Nero Padilla in "Sons of Anarchy" on FX next season. PRASHANT GUPTA/FX


Jimmy Smits has signed on for all 13 episodes of the sixth season of "Sons of Anarchy."

Smits plays Nero Padilla, a gang member businessman who owns a brothel and who became involved with the outlaw Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original (SAMCRO) last season.

"Jimmy adds such a gravitas to the show," "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter said following the fifth season finale in December, reported zap2it.com.

"I love bringing that new culture into the show, his sort of Latino past and that energy. Mixing that into our world is really fascinating to me," said Sutter, who previously confirmed Donal Logue is also returning to the cast.

"I love the relationships going on with he and Gemma (Katey Sagal). I would love to bring Jimmy back. We left it sort of open-ended because I wasn't sure of his availability. I feel like there's enough emotional weight on the table ... for us to continue that story line, yet I was careful not to pin any major story arc to his character just in case that couldn't happen."

Season six of the FX series is set to begin production this summer with an expected but unconfirmed premiere date of September.
