By Renee Hansen
Ritchie Coster is known in The Walking Dead universe for his portrayal of the leader of the Reapers known as Pope. His time on the series was short-lived, but he made an impression as the unpredictable leader who was ruthless in his treatment of Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and her Wardens. Coster is currently starring in Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King, which airs on Paramount+.
Tulsa King is a crime drama series created by the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan, who is well known for his Yellowstone series and its spinoffs. This series is unique because it marks long-time actor Sylvester Stallone’s first lead role in a scripted TV series.
The series follows Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a New York Mafia capo fresh off a 25-year prison sentence. When he is released from prison, his boss sends him to the unlikely location of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is instructed to establish criminal operations and set up a new crew to assist him.
Joining Stallone are Max Casella, Domenick Lombardozzi, Vincent Piazza, Jay Will, A.C. Peterson, Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delany and Annabella Sciorra. Coster portrays Caolan Waltrip, leader of a notorious motorcycle gang called Black Macadam. He first appeared in episode 3, and according to IMDB, Coster will star in a total of three episodes this season.
The series has received raved reviews from viewers and has an 87% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
