It didn’t bother Thomas Mooneyham that he saw Sylvester Stallone glancing more
than once at him or how he was asked to leave a bar scene so he could be replaced with a younger cowboy and a "good-looking cowgirl".

What upset the 53-year-old Tennessee man who drove four hours on April 4 to serve as an extra on the Paramount+ series TULSA KING was learning how one of the background actors was allegedly described by Stallone as a "tub of lard" and "fat guy with a cane". He never heard Stallone or the director utter disparaging words about background actors that day but he's convinced some of those comments were directed at him personally after he read about them on a private Facebook page for BG actors.

"I was seated at a table with another gentleman, like we were listening to the band," recalls Mooneyham, who tells Deadline that he uses a cane because of bone-on bone pain in his knee. "Stallone's table with the other main
characters was diagonal from ours, about 12 feet away. I did notice that he looked at me a time or two and he talked with, I guess, the director and laughed with him and all. But I didn't put anything together. Then we were moved from the scene and replaced with the younger cowboy and a good looking cowgirl. Now does that bother me? Not in the least. What bothers me is that somebody overheard him and the director. It ain't even the part that I am fat. I wasn't the only big one that was there. But I do feel like I was singled out because they said 'old tub of lard with the cane'. I was the only one there with the cane."

Mooneyham is speaking out about his 12-hour day on the Atlanta set of the series that led to the resignation of Rose Locke Casting, a local company
hired to find background actors for Season 2 of the Stallone series. Deadline first broke the story on Monday; reps for the Paramount+ show and Stallone
have yet to comment.

Locke told her clients that she left the series because of disparaging
language allegedly used by Stallone to describe the extras-- an accusation
that director Craig Zisk denied to TMZ after Deadline broke the story. Zisk told the outlet that Locke failed to do her job by not recruiting extras in
the 20s and 30s range for a scene involving a hip bar.

A source close to the show told Deadline Wednesday that producers were concerned about matching scenes from last season, which led to differences of opinion over casting. Producers apparently have talked to the cast and crew about the situation and emphasized their commitment to fostering an inclusive work environment.

Mooneyham says the set he was working on that day was the Bred-2-Buck Bar, a fictitious Tulsa saloon that's owned by Stallone's character Dwight Manfredi
in the series. "That's not a young hipster bar that other people are trying to make it out to be," he said. "That is just an old roughneck cowboy country
bar. And the name of the bar, here's my point, is Bred-2-Buck. Tell me how
many old bronco-riding cowboys who are old and who are not hobbled or
crippled? How would a gentleman with a cane not fit into that? But the main thing is my cane was not even visible in the scene. I had it hidden behind my body."

Before Mooneyham came to work that day, he considered it a dream gig because TULSA KING is a series that he and his son watch together. A tax specialist by day for H&R Block, Mooneyham has been working for two years as an extra and
has already booked several films and TV shows, including a two-day gig on the upcoming film CIVIL WAR.

"When I worked on CIVIL WAR two years ago, I weighed 390 pounds. I could
barely walk," recalls Mooneyham, who appears briefly in the movie's official trailer. "I had to use a mobility scooter but not a one of 'em on set said anything about it to me or made a fuss about it. The producers went out of the way to help me get my scooter loaded into the van."

He says his experience on TULSA KING was a far cry from what his experienced
on the motion picture. "I don't understand. I know there was all this talk about older folks. Older, too old. How does he justify that we are too old
when he’s 20-some years older than we are? I'm 53 years old. Stallone is 77. How the hell am I too old?"

"I've experienced nothing like this before," says Mooneyham, who adds he doesn’t fault the casting director. He also has no plans to quit doing background work.

"Some people say I'm thin-skinned. People think that I'm making a fuss. I
never made a fuss until Rose contacted me about it," says Mooneyham. "My feelings got hurt a little. But you know what? I'm more pissed than hurt. And it's just because of my disability."

As I read it, somebody posted to a secret Facebook group claiming this happened. There’s no actual witness, no recording, no transcript. Nobody overheard anything. They said this is why the guy wasn’t asked back for the next day, and only then did he remember that Stallone looked at him once or twice (gasp), and talked to somebody who may or may not have been the
Director and then he made up the rest of it out of whole cloth.

Meanwhile, in an industry where body stereotypes are valued, this guy
markets his own corpulence. So, no one should comment on it openly?

And the casting company thinks they should be able to just bring in anybody they feel like no matter how inappropriate for the scene they are, which is pretty much casting company attitude.

cowgirl. Now does that bother me? Not in the least. What bothers me
is that
somebody overheard him and the director. It ain't even the part that I am
fat.

Or ain’t speak proper English


I wasn't the only big one that was there. But I do feel like I was
singled
out
because they said 'old tub of lard with the cane'. I was the only one
there
with the cane."

Mooneyham is speaking out about his 12-hour day on the Atlanta set of
the

series that led to the resignation of Rose Locke Casting, a local company
hired to find background actors for Season 2 of the Stallone series.
Deadline
first broke the story on Monday; reps for the Paramount+ show and
Stallone
have yet to comment.

Locke told her clients that she left the series because of disparaging

language allegedly used by Stallone to describe the extras--

That she had miscast


an accusation
that director Craig Zisk denied to TMZ after Deadline broke the story.
Zisk
told the outlet that Locke failed to do her job by not recruiting
extras in
the 20s and 30s range for a scene involving a hip bar.

A source close to the show told Deadline Wednesday that producers were

concerned about matching scenes from last season, which led to
differences
of
opinion over casting. Producers apparently have talked to the cast and
crew
about the situation and emphasized their commitment to fostering an
inclusive
work environment.

Mooneyham says the set he was working on that day was the Bred-2-Buck
Bar, a

fictitious Tulsa saloon that's owned by Stallone's character Dwight
Manfredi
in the series. "That's not a young hipster bar that other people
are trying to
make it out to be," he said. "That is just an old roughneck cowboy
country
bar. And the name of the bar, here's my point, is Bred-2-Buck. Tell me
how
many old bronco-riding cowboys who are old and who are not hobbled or
crippled? How would a gentleman with a cane not fit into that? But the
main
thing is my cane was not even visible in the scene. I had it hidden
behind
my
body."

Which was it difficult as his body is three times the diameter it
should be

Before Mooneyham came to work that day, he considered it a dream gig
because

TULSA KING is a series that he and his son watch together. A tax
specialist
by
day for H&R Block, Mooneyham has been working for two years as an
extra and
has already booked several films and TV shows, including a two-day gig on
the
upcoming film CIVIL WAR.

"When I worked on CIVIL WAR two years ago, I weighed 390 pounds. I could

barely walk," recalls Mooneyham, who appears briefly in the movie's
official
trailer. "I had to use a mobility scooter but not a one of 'em on
set said
anything about it to me or made a fuss about it. The producers went
out of
the
way to help me get my scooter loaded into the van."

He says his experience on TULSA KING was a far cry from what his
experienced

on the motion picture. "I don't understand. I know there was all this
talk
about older folks. Older, too old. How does he justify that we are too
old
when he’s 20-some years older than we are? I'm 53 years old. Stallone is >> 77.
How the hell am I too old?"

Too old, too stupid, too fat

"I've experienced nothing like this before," says Mooneyham, who adds he

doesn’t fault the casting director. He also has no plans to quit doing
background work.

"Some people say I'm thin-skinned.

Of course, he’s thin skinned. His skin is stretched out to cover an area >> three times larger than it was ever intended to.



People think that I'm making a fuss. I
never made a fuss until Rose contacted me about it,"


And now you’re making a fuss. Which is why people think you’re making a >> fuss.


says Mooneyham. "My
feelings got hurt a little. But you know what? I'm more pissed than hurt.
And
it's just because of my disability."

Disability? You’re unable to stop shoving the Cheetos down your face 24/7 >> and your claiming it as a disability?

If I'm following the plot here, Stallone said something in private that someone eavesdropped and posted.  Unless it was state secrets, I think
he gets a pass.

Meanwhile, in an industry where body stereotypes are valued, this guy
markets his own corpulence.  So, no one should comment on it openly?

Who is the shitbag who couldn't even spell "casting" correctly?

face 24/7
and your claiming it as a disability?

If I'm following the plot here, Stallone said something in private

Do you follow mpig's "logic" of "he gets a pass if he's only an

Shouldn't that trope have left the nest by now?

Umm, I don't remember when I last mentioned 'Godwin'. Even then, I'll
