SAG-AFTRA is weighing in on Sylvester Stallone’s alleged on set comments directed at background actors on ‘Tulsa King’
The actor’s union SAG-AFTRA is speaking out and seemingly responding to Sylvester Stallone after the actor allegedly made fun of background actors on the set of his show Tulsa King, which has been shooting its second season in Atlanta and Oklahoma.
The announcement came one day after it was revealed that an Atlanta-based company had parted ways with the Paramount+ series in response to Stallone, 77, and an unnamed director allegedly mocking the appearance of several background actors who were working on the project, using terms like, “ugly,” “tub of lard” and “fat guy with a cane.”
It was also alleged that Stallone spoke to production and asked them if they could bring in “pretty girls to be around me” on set. Zisk further alleged that the Catrett-Locke Casting company was improperly casting extras by casting actors older than the age range requested and refused to submit headshots of the background actors before shooting. Zisk added that the casting company ended up quitting.
