How do you think he would fair in a role like that? He's done mostly kiddie movies.

I liked him very much in The Scorpion King and The Rundown and I even enjoyed his role in Get Smart.

I think Scorpion King was his best role by far.

Scorpion King was too cheesy for me, but The Rundown was good.  I've got Walking Tall sat on the shelf, but haven't watched it yet.

i dunno...I just can't see the Rock doing a car racing movie. Cheezy roles like The Tooth Fairy I can see.

He may have some interesting screen chemistry with Vin Diesel.

One thing I’ll give Rock is versatility.
So far, he’s proven he can handle the leading man role in action movies, kids movies, and comedies.
That versatility should ensure him a job in Hollywood for a long time to come.
