Sylvester Stallone has nothing but admiration for his longtime co-star Robert Patrick.
The pair are reuniting for Tulsa King season 3, with Stallone returning as mobster Dwight Manfredi and Patrick joining the cast as Jeremiah Dunmire, a “terrifying” liquor kingpin.
The actors have also shared the screen in films like Cop Land, Spy Kids, and D-Tox.
Ahead of the Paramount+ premiere on Sunday, Sept. 21, Stallone, 79, told Us Weekly what makes Patrick such a remarkable actor.
“Robert is one of these actors — which I love — he doesn’t always walk around angry in the mood, winding himself up,” Stallone explained. “He can go right into a scene because he’s that good.”
The *Rocky* legend added, “He was fantastic. It is fantastic.”
Reflecting on their working relationship, Stallone noted, “Because we know each other, we can speak in shorthand.”
