Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s rise to Hollywood superstardom is a story of hard work, perseverance, and luck. After leaving the WWE in the early 2000s to become a full-time actor, Johnson initially gravitated toward mid-budget action films (The Scorpion King, Walking Tall, Doom) and family comedies (The Game Plan and Tooth Fairy). It wasn’t until after the success of 2011’s Fast Five that Johnson’s career shifted toward blockbusters and adventure comedies.
