The Rock's new recipe: The
Rock is cooking something, but it
isn't a ringside punch or a fast
and furious car: it's hard work,
tough love and justice all rolled
into one. Dwayne Johnson,
known as "The Rock" in his pro-
fessional wrestling career, is the
host of "Rock and a Hard Place,"
a new documentary premiering
Monday, March 27, on HBO.
He's living up to his stage
name. In the doc, a group of
young inmates from a Miami de-
tention facility is given a choice
between passing a six-month re-
habilitation boot camp under his
tutelage or serving out their
lengthy prison sentences.
It's the same mix of structure,
hard work and strict discipline
that Johnson credits with helping
him out in his own youth. "I know
this boot camp program, and I
believe in it," he says to an as-
sembled group of prisoners in a
preview of the special. The pris-
oners who are part of the pro-
gram need to prove that they're
able to put their lives of crime be-
hind them, or else they earn
themselves a one-way ticket back
to the slammer.
Beyond the wrestling ring,
from which he is semi-retired,
Johnson's acting career has
grown into a huge success for
both him and the films in which
he's starred. His first blockbuster
role was that of the villainous
Scorpion King in "The Mummy
Returns" (2001), but that was
only the beginning for the wres-
tler-turned-actor. That role was
followed up with a long chain of
hits, including the spinoff "The
Scorpion King" (2002), "Walking
Tall" (2004) and "Doom" (2005).
He joined the ensemble cast of
the The Fast and the Furious fran-
chise with "Fast Five" (2011),
which had the biggest opening
weekend for the franchise up un-
til that time. It's not all fast cars
and murderous mummies,
though; Johnson's also starred in
plenty of family fare, including
"Tooth Fairy" (2010) and last
year's animated hit "Moana."
The Rock has been cooking up
a successful acting career, but he
also wants to help turn bad guys
good. "Rock and a Hard Place"
premieres Monday, March 27, on
HBO.
Some human castings: Mar-
vel's "Inhumans" cast is growing.
