10 of the best wrestlers turned actors

#1 The Rock

Without a shadow of a doubt, the most successful wrestler turned actor is the Rock. El Santo may have made more films, but they were never high-grade material. The Rock stars in--and often carries--big tentpole movies.

He's even set to get a spin-off movie of his Fast and Furious character and is the highest paid actor in the world. Not bad for a man who the fans booed out of the building in his early career!

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Ten wrestlers, ten great film roles!
