A storm is coming from Cal Thresher as Tulsa King<\/em><\/a> season 3 continues \u2014 at least according to Neal McDonough<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait until the final speech of season 3,\u201d McDonough, 59, told Us Weekly<\/em> exclusively ahead of this week\u2019s episode, teasing that he \u201cgot emotional\u201d during this moment in the forthcoming finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe director is like, \u2018I don\u2019t think you can do that, you\u2019re Cal Thresher.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Well, isn\u2019t that more the reason why I should?\u2019 He is completely misunderstood,\u201d the actor continued. \u201cI don\u2019t want anyone thinking that Cal Thresher is one way, when he might be a completely different way.\u201d<\/p>\n

When thinking about the end of this season for McDonough\u2019s character, he notes: \u201cIt just makes me smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDonough made his Tulsa King<\/em> debut during last year\u2019s second season doing \u201cthe whole marijuana gangster thing,\u201d which didn\u2019t exactly work out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried it. I\u2019m bored. I\u2019m in my 50s. What do I do for fun [because] that didn\u2019t work?\u201d McDonough said of Cal. Well, the third season answered that question from the very beginning, revealing that Cal is now running for governor of Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I run for governor, two things can happen. I can help my great state be even better \u2014 which is part of it \u2014 but the other half is I can amass, a boatload of power for myself, and I can do basically anything I want. That includes anything I want against Dwight Manfredi.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDonough made it clear, however, that Cal still wants nothing to do with the gangsters in Tulsa.<\/p>\n

\u201cCal Thresher is fighting for Oklahoma to the bitter end. Then, in the end, when things finally come to \u2014 well, I can\u2019t tell you what happens,\u201d McDonough teased.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see the true colors of Cal Thresher really come out for a little bit and say, \u2018Wow, Cal is one of us.\u2019 I really like that about Cal Thresher this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for what fans can expect to see between Cal and Sylvester Stallone<\/strong>\u2019s Dwight Manfredi this year? It\u2019s more of an offscreen battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about each other so much. It makes for great drama,\u201d McDonough explained, noting that Cal and Dwight are both always \u201cgonna butt heads.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSylvester Stallone and Robert Patrick\u2019s past working relationship made for an \u201ceasier\u201d time on the Tulsa King season 3 set. \u201cBecause we know each other, we can speak in shorthand,\u201d Stallone, 79, told Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the Paramount+ show\u2019s premiere on Sunday, September 21. \u201cRobert is one of these actors \u2014 which I [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re two rams butting horns,\u201d he said of the characters. \u201cWhat\u2019s better than that?\u201d<\/p>\n

This Sunday\u2019s episode featured Cal attending the launch party for Dwight\u2019s new venture into the liquor business, but viewers never even see them cross paths.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want any pictures with him or [Frank Grillo<\/strong>\u2019s] Bevilaqua because<\/a> that could take down my goal of becoming the governor of Oklahoma and amassing power. So, I\u2019m going to do everything I can to distance myself from him,\u201d McDonough shared of his character. \u201cYet, I need to know exactly what\u2019s going on with Dwight Manfredi at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
