she was a vice president at a large investment bank i believe......also the rock holds the record for being the highest paid actor in his first starring role (the scorpion king, $15m)

You're full of it. The Rock didn't make anywhere near $15 million for Scorpion king. He got something like $5 million.

Wrong?  You don't think they Rock is a better actor than Levrone?  I'd like to see Kevin pull off the promos the Rock used to do for WWF.  The guy is talented.

i'd like to see van damme or steven seagal pull off the rock's promos ::)

my point was the rock made a name for himself in wrestling, in a time when wrestling was huge

he is very well known therefore he will have more opportunities

Isn't any worse than Arnolds.  He actually has a pretty good sense of humor and was hilarious in some of his Saturday Night Live appearances.

No shit hes had more opportunities.  He created those opportunites for himself. He's a much better actor than Levrone.  Some guys have the chrisma and personality and some guys don't.

actually no

he never would've been a wrestler if his father and grandfather weren't wrestlers, he got his private tryout because his father was still friends with pat patterson

yeah once he got to the wrestling stage he made himself a star but he never would've gotten there if not for his connections

also nobody ever said Mr. Levrone had to be arnold or even the rock, i'm just saying he can have some success

he's getting parts, that's better than 90% of those Hollywood wannabes waiting tables in restaurants

Levrone isn't much bigger.  The difference between The Rock and Levrone is that The Rock actually has acting talent and Levrone has nothing.

Dang, that must've hurt earl...

The Rock rocks!  ;D

delusional...

Hint: Levrone might have been a great BB, but as far as movies go, Dwayne Johnson has made a few REALLY good ones, 'Walking Tall', 'Welcome to the Jungle', fine action movies.

Levrones movies don't even make it to a european videostore. Hope this helps.

Be Cool, Walking Tall, The Rundown and even Scorpion King were all good enjoyable Hollywood movies. No Doctor Schiwago, but i guess there weren't supposed to be.

Something Levrone will NEVER achieve.

What facts?  Here are some facts.  The rock is making a living acting, kevin is not.  The rock is headlining big movies, kevin is not.  The rock is a talented actor, kevin is not.  Even Chick and Gunter get more jobs than Kevin and they only do this stuff part time.

how does it breakdown
$5.5M minus Manager fee, agent fee, Accountant/lawyer, Assistant and taxes..whats he actually get?

In some cases the fees for the Manager and Agent can be put into the contract as "over and above".  SO if he got $5.5 million then he pocketed that much and the Manager would get is 12% to 15% and the agent would get his 10% over and above that amount.  It all depends on how the structured it.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK.  ;D

Seriously, whatever the Rock makes per film; he's rich and very well known. That's all that matters, and I'd call him a neo Arnold.  :)
