TheRock: I'll play the legendary Charlie Pride in a movie about his life. It's my honor to bring his life to the big screen.

That's an odd choice. Surely we wasn't the first choice to play the roll?

Pride is not a small guy, and he was a very good baseball player who played in the Negro league

The Rock is listed anywhere from 6'3 to 6'4//Pride listed anywhere from 6'1 to 6'2

weight wise the Rock can lose pounds because he was not overly big in the movie where he played a QB

I was referring to his past roles as an actor. I looked it up and Terrence Howard was originally tapped to play the role.

No doubt. Jamie Foxx is perfect example.
I like The Rock. Always wanted him to take on a serious role. Let's see what he does.

Rock is pretty big right now, he has more muscle mass at this point in time then he ever did in the WWE.

I think that he is actually a pretty good actor, just most of his movies have been the typical butt kicking semi-lousy plotted action flicks, great movies for guys who want to just watch some action, kinda like the immortal Predator. It would be pretty cool to see him in a serious role without all the action and see him play the role well.

"Be Cool" is a movie where Rock definitely goes against is usual roles.
