how did vin diesel and dwayne "the rock " johnson made it to hollywood?

[MEDITATE]

theyre both sh!tty actors ... specially dwayne

[ThenGuru]

[blissful88]

Dwayne has had some good character roles but neither of them have any personality range, they can only play one type of character.. themselves

[Unstumpable]

It's not about if they're talented actors. It's about if they have a certain look and suck the right dinks.

[dizzin9]

More than you can afford, pal!

Also, Vin Diesel > DJ

[wincel]

probably sucked off weinstein

He is a favorite of mine!

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

sold their souls

[Thegainswarden]

All about looks

[sonic9]

well the rock did agree to toothfairy, i wonder what else he agreed to.

[SpeakethTruth]

Vin Diesel was pretty good in that Boiler Room scene.

[Supaduck0]

They're good for the macho characters with an alpha aura... Even if certain actors like Michael Shannon or someone have a lot more talent, they are limited and can't play roles like Riddick or whatever. (Pitch Black was a good movie, much better than Chronicles of Riddick IMO).

[Tornach]

The same way women become famous "actresses".

[gmmvp42]

Vin made a short film about a bouncer, Spielberg saw it, cast him in saving private Ryan. Rock used his charisma/wrestling connections to mog Hollywood short people

[Avalanche3319]

Used to be a time that masculinity was a desired trait for Hollywood films. I’m afraid that time has come and gone my friend.

[Singularity7]

I really enjoyed the Riddick series (including the games) everything else Vin has done meh. As for the Rock enjoyed zero of his works.

Who remembers the Rock from WWF? Can’t remember the group he was in...Nation of Domination or something like that. Everyone booed them. He was hated and Steve Austin was at his prime. His ascent was a slow and steady one. His on stage acting back then was atrocious...

[Sinan09400]

Good amount of quality PR can turn every moron into a celeb.

[Ironface]

Agreed. Predictable meathead stereotype that gets old after a while, especially The Rock.

Like Arnold in his prime but without the charisma (srs)

[quadfecta]

They both had to do a bunch of B list movies/acting gigs before getting big in the F&F series

The riddick movies and WWE for example. But pretty much proves if you have an extroverted personality with looks to go with it you can go far in the acting industry

[Samraiwise]

I love both of them.



BTW.........OP's name isn't in my list of the class 2007.





Well the mystery solved, the family resemblance can't be denied

.....you are not human and that's why.

[Kawhilights]

Diesel had a tough guy look and lived off of that voice in the 2000's and got his life changing role in FF. The Rock was easily one of the most popular wrestlers ever during what was arguably the peak popularity of WWF so he monkey branched into Hollywood.

[JonZ]

Dont understand appeal of Dwayne. He was a lousy wrestler and is really limited in range as a actor.

I think the only thing I've ever seen him in that I thought was decent was Ballers.

Saving Private Ryan is the only film I've ever seen Vin in besides him saying I'm Am Groot.

[Purfected]

The Rock is the GOAT actor

look how well he sold these stunners

[wasp9166]

Just like arnold and stallone

Take the tech away they are no bodys

[WellHungOver]

I understand the Rock, but vin dissels a fkn nerd.

[nothingshocking]

Because Hollywood puts out such compelling movies, it gives guys like The Rock and Vin Deisel tremendous opportunities to showcase their talents.

Who would you rather see cast in the remake of Jumanji or Baywatch? Anthony Hopkins?

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic.

I would watch Hopkins in that movie in a heartbeat.

[isingmodel]

dwaynes not necessarily a ****ty actor, he just acts himself more or less and is entertaining and charismatic enough to be a money making lead in corny action films
