Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has his hand in movies, TV, books, a clothing line, and of course raising his kids. Johnson got his start as a professional football player-turned-wrestler (where he earned the moniker, “The Rock”). After achieving the heights of the WWE, Johnson turned to movies and television where he has amazed crowds with his gigantic muscles in “The Fast and Furious” series and his show “Ballers.” On the charity side, Johnson founded the Dwayne Johnson Rock Foundation to help terminally ill children.

Varsity Blues (1999): A classic teen comedy set in small-town Texas during football season. When star quarterback Lance Harbor (James Van Der Beek) gets injured mid-season. Can't forget about Rudy (1993): Another true story about a kid's inspiring journey against all odds. dreams of playing football at Notre Dame University despite having no athletic background or financial support. The Replacements (2000): A hilarious romp about a pro football strike where a ragtag group of replacements must take over in order for games to go on! The Replacements is 100% entertaining for any fan of American football or comedy films.
