After reports of Stallone and an unnamed director making disparaging comments about the extras on Tulsa King, the agency Rose Locke Casting of Atlanta announced they were parting ways with the show.
Director and executive reporter Craig Zisk has denied the reports about Stallone and said Rose Locke improperly cast the extras by refusing to submit their headshots beforehand to make sure they fit the scene.
