Eric Fields is a 37-year-old lieutenant, who has reportedly worked with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office for 17 years. According to AL.com, Fields has worked at the jail, investigated crimes and has also been in the special victims unit. Furthermore, as an officer, he has also worked with drug endangered children.

The Alabama cop was promoted to corporal during his ongoing service, and then promoted to lieutenant from sergeant. As a lieutenant, Eric Fields is a firearms safety instructor and works as a tactical training guide to presumably help novice cops. He is also a sworn Deputy U.S. Marshal.

Coincidentally, Eric Fields also does Dwayne Johnson impressions and obliges requests from friends and strangers to say The Rock’s catchphrases. The police lieutenant said,

“I don’t want to disappoint anybody...I walk up one day and at a different angle, I don’t know."

Lieutenant Eric Fields further added,

It’s flattering, but it’s also a little nerve-racking as far as what others expect I guess.”

Regarding his views on his resemblance to Dwayne Johnson, Eric says:

“I really couldn’t be anybody but me. I’m just glad I could be part of someone’s happiness and laughter.”

However, while Black Adam star Dwayne Johnson is reportedly 6’4” and around 260 lbs, Eric Fields is reported to be 6’2” and 230 lbs. Eric’s shaved head, similar skin tone and close muscular build contribute to the likeness he shares with the former WWE star.
