11 Actors Who Literally Never Act

10. Dwayne Johnson

Quick - name the movie where The Rock isn't jacked and punching someone in the face...I'll wait...

Dwayne Johnson (mostly) stepped away from WWE to concentrate on his Hollywood career. He began as a desert warrior with muscles, later becoming a sheriff with muscles, a helicopter pilot with muscles, been in the military with muscles, a primatologist with muscles, and the freaking tooth fairy...with muscles.

We all love The Rock, I'm not knocking his hustle, but we all know what kind of character to expect when Mr. Johnson is in the credits. He's going to flex, he's going to smile, and unless he's jumping off a building to his demise...he's going to save the day. Every person he plays seems to be the type who would flex his way out of an arm cast.

The most he's "flexed" his acting muscle (sorry, had to do it) would be in Jumanji. There, he is channeling the nerdy and awkward teenager who will later figure out he's the day-saving, brawny hero.
