We speak to Freddie Poole about his role as a stunt coordinator on the Sylvester Stallone series TulsaKing, which is now streaming on ParamountPlus:
Sylvester Stallone has taken on his first ever streaming series with Tulsa King. Premiering on Paramount+ on November 13th, 2022, Tulsa King can now be streamed in its entirety on the platform. Additionally, Tulsa King marks the latest of numerous collaborations between Stallone and stunt profesional Freddie Poole, who not only serves as Stallone's stuntman on the series but also as stunt coordinator and second unit director.
We speak to Freddie Poole on his work as second unit director, stunt man, and stunt coordinator on Tulsa King, along with some of his past work with Sylvester Stallone. With Tulsa King being a series as opposed to a movie, how is it different from other projects you’ve worked on with Stallone in the past?
Freddie Poole: It was the first time that I’ve done all three, yes, but I’ve done them all before. The challenge, of course, is when I’m doubling Stallone, I wear a prosthetic mask, so that’s a two and a half hour application to sit in hair and make-up and do all of that, so all the planning and prepping is super important, because I wasn’t as accessible, at least for the two-and-a-half hours, while they might be setting up a shot or something like that while I’m over in hair and make-up.
My process is whenever I break down an action sequence, I ask myself, 'Okay, what do I need from another department, like special effects, set decoration, props?', and then go through those individual meetings with each department, just to make sure everything is planned for so that there are no hiccups when we shoot. So really, the planning and just making sure we have all the resources we need to accomplish what we're wanting to do.
