Dwayne Johnson

Do you hear who The Rock is voicing?

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (born May 2, 1972) used to be a professional wrestler for WWE, where he is a ten-time world champion (eight-time WWE Championship and two-time World Heavyweight Championship). He eventually left to pursue a movie career, though in recent years he has made a few returns to the ring in a publicity capacity, even participating in some storylines and matches. He starred in movies such as The Scorpion King, Doom, Get Smart, Moana, Tooth Fairy, Rampage and the titular DC Comics anti-hero Black Adam in his own solo film.

Then he voiced Cliffjumper. Then very quickly he stopped voicing Cliffjumper.

He has also played thus-far non-zombie Hasbro product Roadblock in G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Notes

• Johnson's "The Rock" persona was the inspiration for the Mini-Con Smackdown's bio.
• Johnson was once offered the lead role for Age of Extinction, but due to his commitment to Hercules, the role was later taken over by his Pain & Gain co-star Mark Wahlberg.^[1]
• The production crew of Transformers: EarthSpark must be fans of Johnson as in the series production bible, Optimus Prime was likened to "The Rock" and a photo of Johnson when he was younger can be seen in Mo Malto's room in "Prime Time".
• Just don't pair him up with John Cena.
