Dwayne Douglas Johnson (born May 2, 1972), better known as The Rock (the actual name on his SAG card), is a professional wrestler with World Wrestling Entertainment. Johnson has also starred in several major motion pictures, including The Scorpion King and The Rundown. In the past, he wrestled under the names Rocky Maivia, Flex Kavana, and Duane Glasteau.
The Rock stars, along with former Jackass Johnny Knoxville, in the film Walking Tall, from MGM Pictures, as real life war hero-turned-sheriff Chris Vaughn who returns to the town where he grew up and rids it of corruption with his trusty two-by-four. The movie is set to release on April 2, 2004. It is rated PG-13.
Johnson, as of November 20th, 2003, looks like he's currently taking a hiatus from the WWE during his recent career as a actor. It's been announced in multiple entertainment magazines that Johnson has been approached to play the role of Duke Nukem in a live action Duke Nukem movie that's currently in the works. Johnson has expressed interest. He will also star in the big screen adaptation of Cartoon Network's popular character Johnny Bravo.
