Stallone, who had primarily been known for his work in film, took on the role of Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a mafia capo exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma after serving 25 years in prison. His portrayal of the tough yet charming mobster quickly became a fan favorite, showcasing his ability to blend gritty crime drama with lighter, humorous moments. The actor admitted in interviews that starring in a TV series was a unique challenge, as the filming schedule was much more intense and fast-paced than what he was used to in film.
