#2 A-Lister

One of the most obvious characteristics that The Miz shares with The Rock, is their success on the big screen. Sure, Miz has a few more big breaks to go before he possibly lands a roll on a major film as big as the Fast and the Furious franchise, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Miz has landed his fair share of quality roles as well.

Some of the films Miz has been a part of included The Marine series, Santas Little Helper, The Campaign and, quite a few others. His involvement in mainstream entertainment has helped funnel fans in from outside the wrestling world. This is also what happened when The Rock began his acting career as well.

There have been plenty of professional wrestlers who have tried their hand at acting, but only a select few have been as successful as The Miz and The Rock. What makes things even more exciting for fans of The Miz, is the fact that he has plenty of good years ahead of him, which will allow for many more movie roles and acting opportunities.
