Carry on!!” Working with Sylvester Stallone in Tulsa King In 2022, Beach joined the cast of Tulsa King opposite Sylvester Stallone. Beach told the New York Post that despite Stallone’s tough exterior, he’s always encouraging actors to inject a little comedy into their roles. “He’s always trying to help people find the humor . . . ‘Why don’t you just try to say this?’ And a lot of the people in his crew, some were not seasoned actors, and that didn’t bother him at all,” Beach told the publication. “He was always just trying to help them find a way to help them develop a character. He was really cool about that.”
