How Sylvester Stallone Behaved On Tulsa King’s Set, According To Max Casella – Looper

Max Casella continued to heap praise on his world-famous co-star throughout the interview, saying of Sylvester Stallone, “He’s a warm, generous, loving, hard-working, blue-collar guy.” More importantly, Casella said he developed a genuine rapport with Stallone on the set of “Tulsa King,” telling New York Live, “He felt like an uncle of mine.” If you’ve seen the pair trading barbs in the first season of “Tulsa King,” the family-like chemistry Casella describes is more than evident. And it clearly carried over to several other cast members, with Garrett Hedlund recently claiming he felt Stallone had become like a big brother on the set of the series.

For his part, Stallone seems hardly able to contain his own joy at playing in the wild world Taylor Sheridan created with “Tulsa King.” Aside from his obvious joy, Casella claims what made Stallone such a treasure to work with throughout the show’s first season is not only that he works so hard at his craft, but that “He respects hard work.” The screen legend clearly saw lots of it on the set of “Tulsa King.” The hard work arguably resulted in some of Stallone’s best work to date, with Casella also revealing in the New York Live interview, “the work he does on this show is the best stuff he’s done in years.” Casella even went as far as to say Stallone’s work on “Tulsa King” might be on par with his work on the “Rocky” franchise. And if you’ve seen Stallone at work in “Tulsa King,” it’s hard to argue the point.
