Fox News
Sylvester Stallone has been waiting his whole career for this moment. The 75 year old actor finally has the role of playing a mob boss in "Tulsa King," which is set to be released this November.
Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"I’ve always wanted to play a gangster since... I basically started off my career mugging everyone... but it never happened. I have my thoughts on why, but better late than never," he said. "Taylor Sheridan wrote an idea, a screenplay that was really good and Terence Winter, who wrote ‘Sopranos’ and ‘Boardwalk Empire,’ they put it all together and what you have is East meets West."
He continued: "[My character, Dwight,] comes out of prison after 25 years, expects to be rewarded for keeping his mouth shut and he's betrayed."
