NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Terminator 2 legend Robert Patrick says he was happy to join Season 3 of Tulsa King alongside Sylvester Stallone, his former co-star from 1997's Cop Land.
"I had such a great time working with Sly on Cop Land and Sly's a big part of my life as a human being, because Rocky was one of the most inspirational films I ever saw. I was in high school and an athlete. And, really, that film made you realize that if you believed enough in your dreams to go after them, they could come true," Patrick, 67, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"It was one of the great conversations I did have with Sly while we were making Cop Land. And I said, 'How did you come up with the idea for Rocky?' And when he explained it to me, it was really a metaphor for his acting career that he just wanted a chance. It hit home even harder. So, I had a lot of respect for him."
Both Cop Land and Tulsa King required Patrick's character to go toe to toe with Stallone's.
"It's easy to work with him. He's, I think, one of the few actors that can be a formidable adversary and have some vulnerability, as well. He's so good at vulnerability," Patrick said.
