How is he a sell out?

 

[Rampage]

he's smart not a sell out just like Ron Brace.

 

[peplaw06]

And he's going by Dwayne Johnson. Yeah that sounds better, more civilized.

How is he a sell out?

he capitalized on his WWF fame to make money

You say that like it is a bad thing.

He was a star with a name most people at least heard of in the WWE. He knew his health wouldn't hold out forever and decided to try movies. After several movies, he is now pretty stereotyped into a certain role. So he decides to branch out and reinvent himself and accept a role one in a movie that of the most respected names in the movie industry (Disney) has offered.

Sounds more like the American dream to me.

the dude just can't act

I wouldn't mind it so much if he had some sort of acting talent

How do you think he got where he is?

I say good for him.

What should he have done.

Crawled into a hole and die???

I think both Cajun and I would agree that we've never agreed on anything before, but................ he's right.

He was an actor in the ring, and now he's an actor on the big screen. Good for him. Cash in when you can, cause chances are 10 years from now, you won't even remember the guy.

I'd hardly call that a "sellout".

If that is true, he has LOTS of company.

 

[Jon88]

These are probably the only films he gets offered to act in.

 

[Yeagermeister]

He's got a young daughter so maybe he's just making movies she can see him in.

 

[Kangaroo]

So your point he is making a living; people are just petty and jealous at times.

See your problem is you are calling him a sellout; when your real beef is you think he is a bad actor.

Fine if you think he is a bad actor say that do not come out calling the guy a sellout and stuff because you are jealous he is making big money to be a bad actor.

If it where a crime for being a bad actor we never would have had to deal with seeing guys like Ben Aflek.

Whoa, calm down. I didn't say anything about him being a sellout. I'm sure he would rather act in more "serious" films but just doesn't get the opportunity.

Sorry did not mean to infer you I was meaning the original poster on that part.

I was trying to reply to both things (that's on me sorry)

I thought he was hilarious in that Travolta movie. Can't think of the name, but it was the sequel to Get Shorty.

He wasn't bad in the Gridiron Gang either.

Oh well. Can't wait for the next thread by Bob posting he hates something.

I think it will go something like this

I hate Woody'sGirl

but the best response in this thread is that I'm jealous of Dwayne Johnson, lol

He was funny but the movie was terrible

If a guy who moves from WWF to Disney is a sell out, what is the guy who moves from Disney to WWF?
