Stallone and Patrick Reunite as Rivals in Tulsa King Comeback

In a reunion nearly 30 years in the making, veteran actors Robert Patrick and Sylvester Stallone have joined forces as antagonists in the latest season of the Paramount+ series Tulsa King. The two first worked together in the 1997 drama Cop Land, and Patrick has long considered Stallone a friend and inspiration for his acting career.

According to a recent interview, Patrick's admiration for Stallone dates back to the release of the iconic Rocky film, which gave him the sense that anyone can succeed if they put their mind to it. This mindset has clearly translated to Patrick's own successful acting journey, and he even sought Stallone's advice while working on Cop Land, finding further inspiration in the process.

Now, the two Hollywood legends have reunited on the set of Tulsa King, where they are playing rival characters. While it's not uncommon for actors to have a strained relationship with their co-stars, this is clearly not the case for Patrick and Stallone, whose mutual respect and admiration have only grown over the years. Fans of both actors are sure to be thrilled by this long-awaited on-screen reunion.
