Spoiler alert! We're discussing the ending of the Season 3 "Tulsa King" finale. Stop reading if you haven't seen it yet and don't want to know.
Robert Patrick, who plays “Tulsa King” baddie Jeremiah Dunmire, knew his odious crime family leader was going to die in the Season 3 finale (streaming now on Paramount+).
But the "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" villain didn’t know just how “brutal” Dunmire's TV death would be at the hands of executive producer Sylvester Stallone, who stars as rival Tulsa mobster boss Dwight “The General” Manfredi.
Patrick, 67, recalls a between-scenes encounter in the show’s Bred-2-Buck bar with Stallone, 79, who said offhandedly, “I’m still trying to come up with a great way to kill you.”
“I told him, ‘I’m sure interested in seeing what you come up with,’ “ Patrick tells USA TODAY. "I thought about what it was going to be. I was surprised it was burning me alive.”
