Getting a prime spot in a Paramount+ original is a great gig for Scarlet Rose Stallone, but some may wonder why she doesn't play Dwight's daughter on the series. According to USA Today, Scarlet was too young for that part, so it went to Tina Manfredi. Sylvester Stallone spoke very highly of Manfredi, telling the outlet how she could pass as his daughter since she has similar features to him.
Of course, Sylvester also took the opportunity to praise his daughter, who made her big-screen debut in a 2014 film with him titled "Reach Me." In it, Scarlet plays a sassy young girl and was 11 when the film came out. She only has one line in the film, but she's gotten a lot more screen time on "Tulsa King" as the barista-turned-horse wrangler. It's exactly the path she's always wanted as explained to the "Unwaxed" podcast.
"This is kind of like a dream come true for me," Scarlet said. "I've wanted to act my whole entire life. I've always pictured dad and I being on screen together, but never in my life [did] I think it would ever happen." Scarlet's dad seems to think she has what it takes to really make a career out of performing, as he told USA Today.
"There's a thing she has with the camera, even with still shots, that is unique," Sylvester said. "All my daughters are beautiful, and they all have their specialties, but Scarlet is the one who's most adamant about pursuing the job of a wondering dramaturg."
