Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? At the age of 75, Sylvester Stallone is doing something he’s never done before: starring in a television series. In Tulsa King, Stallone plays a mob boss who, after serving a 25-year prison sentence, falls back on old habits and tries to set up a crime syndicate in Tulsa, Oklahoma. So why did Stallone — who’s been making movies for more than five decades — suddenly get the urge to do something on a smaller screen? He talked to us about why he found Tulsa King so appealing.
