Who Plays Margaret Devereaux On Tulsa King?
"Tulsa King" is the latest original series from Paramount+, and the show has already hooked fans thanks to the writing and acting. The program was created by "Yellowstone" showrunner Taylor Sheridan, with Terence Winter of "The Sopranos" executive producing and writing. Starring Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi, a captain in New York City's Italian-American mafia, the show follows his experiences trying to build a crime syndicate in the quiet metropolis of Tulsa, Oklahoma, after spending a quarter of a century in prison. Although the series apparently gets a few things wrong about Tulsa, it is not without a heavy dose of fish-out-of-water comedy, intense drama, and the explosions of tension and violence that highlights some of Sheridan's and Winter's past works.
The star of "Rocky" carries the program as a true antihero, with Todd Lazarski of The A.V. Club observing, "Tulsa ranks as another sturdy chapter in the volume of prestigious, showy 21st century antiheroism." The cast of characters is one of the highlights of the crime drama, with Max Casella (Manny Truisi), Domenick Lombardozzi (Chickie Invernizzi), Martin Starr (Bodhi Geigerman), Garrett Hedlund (Mitch Keller), and Annabella Sciorra as Dwight's sister Joanne all providing equally memorable performances alongside Stallone. The actor who plays Margaret Devereaux may also stand out as one of the cast's more recognizable faces.
