Both enjoyed respectable acting careers in addition to their time in the ring. Hogan most notably came up against Sylvester Stallone in Rocky III (1982) as the character 'Thunderlips' while The Rock, whose real name is Dwayne Johnson, has a much more plentiful filmography, starring in a number of Hollywood hits.
