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!
