I can't remember how he jumped from being a wrestler to an actor... I think the earliest movie I remember him from (without looking it up) is that god-awful mummy movie.

He was the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, all that charisma had to have a go at Hollywood.

Can't remember who it was, but I remember not too long ago a wrestler said that the in-ring performances were basically just high-stakes stage acting.

I thought it was the run down with stifler. But cant really blame the guy. Went from making 6 figures and on the road 300bdays a year to making 7 figures and much less travel.

Mummy Returns led to Scorpion King and the rest was history.

looking back at the movies he's done he was watchable in scorpion king after his "debut" in mummy 2 but he most likely took off after the rundown.

He got injured and missed a football season or something so he got into wrestling

Scorpion King role kicked it off.
He made a few low rent B type action flicks too.
Then he made Doom, which I kinda liked tbh.
Fast and Furious helped.

He's ok for the roles he plays. He was pretty good in first Jumanji and he was great in Moana.

He guest starred on Star Trek because of his wrestling persona. Then he got a cameo role in The Mummy Returns. Then he got a prequel starring role in The Scorpion King.

The rest, as they say, is history.

So the thing that really held him down was playing the same position as a little knonn guy named warren sapp. He didnt get a lot of pt.

He's come a long way from being a horrible CGI scorpion monster in a Mummy movie.

i watched it again last night funny enough and it cant be overstated how bad he looks in the mummy returns. like brendan frasier is having a swordfight and a door opens and a tekken 2 cutscene emerges to attack him
