There have been many roles in Sylvester Stallone's storied career. From the underdog hero of "Rocky" to the action hero of "The Expendables," his memorable performances have made him a fan favorite. Not to mention, he's also been behind the scenes as a writer and director for various projects — including the cult classic "Staying Alive." Stallone's characters may seem like they cover a wide realm of possibilities, yet there is one that remains elusive — the cowboy. The closest he's come to it was in the Dolly Parton comedy "Rhinestone." The film saw Stallone play a cab driver who enters the world of country music.
While "Tulsa King" may leave the cowboy category somewhat unchecked, it has given the actor a chance to visit the midwest. "The fact of a gangster coming to Oklahoma is really remote, but that's what makes it special," the actor said (via Tulsa World). "Oklahoma is a special place. Very unique."
Stallone's presence in the area brought more than a few curious residents and tourists to shooting locations. Some cited their favorite character as a reason to see the actor, while others hoped to catch a glimpse of anything related to filming (via News on 6).
