The new Paramount Plus crime drama, Tulsa King revolves around the recently released criminal, Dwight "The General" Manfredi. After 25 years in prison, Mandfredi expects to return to the New York underworld. Instead, much to his chagrin, he’s sent to Tulsa, Okla., to establish criminal connections. He quickly sets out to earn as much money as possible so that he can return home. 

Created by Yellowstone's Taylor Sheridan and Boardwalk Empire's Terence Winter, there's plenty of excitement surrounding Tulsa King. Especially because of the hugely impressive cast that’s involved.

Bohdi doesn’t have a choice in the matter.

After making a name for himself in Freaks and Geeks, Starr has appeared in Silicon Valley, Party Down, Knocked Up and, most recently, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: No Way Home
