When Samuel L. Jackson was announced as the lead in the new Taylor Sheridan show, Frisco King-which is a spinoff of Tulsa King-fans were over the moon and needed to know more about the series. And while many of the details surrounding the show do remain a mystery, Sheridan followers finally know one key piece of information: who's going to be starring in it. To learn more about the Frisco King (formerly known as NOLA King) cast, keep reading!
Jackson is an Oscar nominated actor best known for his work in Pulp Fiction (1994), Shaft (2000), The Incredibles (2004), Snakes on a Plane (2006), Turbo (2013), Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014), The Hateful Eight (2015), Glass (2019), Argylle (2024) and Tulsa King (2025), as well as a number of Marvel and Star Wars movies. In Frisco King he will play Russell Lee Washington Jr., a former inmate and friend of Tusla King star Dwight "The General" Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) who moves to Frisco, Texas to build his own criminal empire. The actor will also help executive produce the show.
"I watched Tulsa King, and I liked it even before that idea came up," Jackson told Collider in June 2025. "I know very little about what's going to happen. I don't know the character's name. I don't know what our history is. I don't know anything about it, but I do know that I'm very anxious to jump into it and find out what it's going to be."
Jackson is 77-years-old and has been married to LaTanya Richardson Jackson since 1980. They have one daughter.
