When you think about acting schools, what comes to mind? Julliard? NYU? The Yale School of Drama? Or even an improv company like The Groundlings or Second City?! Well, one of the most famous acting schools has been in our faces the whole time — and airs on TV each week. Yup, we’re talking about the WWE. With in-ring promos, backstage interviews, and over the top characters, the pro-wrestling company has been a breeding ground for potential actors — but no one has seen more success than their star student: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Learn how The Rock transformed from a WWE champ into a Box Office Champ and how he almost got derailed along the way.

He stars in movies, host reality shows, and even has his own series on HBO. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a lot more than just an actor — he’s a mega-star in Hollywood. And here he is now, on the set of Hobbs and Shaw — a spin-off of the billion dollar Fast and Furious franchise he helped elevate when he joined the production of Fast Five back in 2011. But we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves — Dwayne Johnson didn’t become one of Hollywood’s biggest actors overnight — it was all started with a career in pro-wrestling, following in his family’s footsteps, and completely changing the course of both the WWE and Hollywood as we know it. Watch to see The Rock’s amazing journey from the WWE and into the role as a huge Hollywood star. He was voted People’s Sexiest Man Alive, has his own television show, and works hard in every aspect of his life.
