Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock

Dwayne Johnson aka “The Rock” used his rippling muscles in the WWE before he became one of the action and adventure actors. Unless you have lived in a cave for decades it is well known that he is a professional wrestler for the WWE and is a current Champion in his eighth rein.

Dwayne Johnson was born May 2^nd, 1972 in Hayward California and he is 6’5” of charisma---charm and is one of the nicest actors to meet---I am told.

Dewayne is a third generation wrestle in his family. His grandfather Peter Miavia was born in Hawaii on April 6, 1937 and died June 12, 1982. Peter’s daughter Ata (Dwayne’s Mother) married Rocky Johnson a Canadian in 1978-2003. These two great wrestlers paved the way for Dwayne in the wrestling profession.

He was fortunate enough to travel with his parents and watch his dad as he performed in the ring as a great wrestler he was and probably still could be---however he is retired now. Rocky Johnson enjoys watching his son’s career in WWE and making movies.

Dewayne made his first movie “The Scorpion King” in 2002 and was well known before the movie because of all his guest appearances on many television show and then he appeared on Saturday Night Live which put him in the limelight and he received the most attention from Hollywood as he began receiving movie offers.

He is always busy if he is not doing a movie---he is involved with the WWE in one way or the other. His man has more energy than most men and since he is only 40 years old he still has a long movie and WWE life to enjoy. He has millions of fan who support him at the box offices and then buying his DVD’s of his movies---I know I am one of them.

Dwayne played the role of Mathayus who fights against an evil army that is damaging his Homeland. The movie has a lot of scenes in the desert, action, fighting and Mathayus falls in love with the Sorceress the one he was hired by the tribes to kill. I am sure the world has seen this movie so I will try to show more current ones for our pleasure.

Jungle Cruise Trailer #1 (2021

G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation

 Dwayne plays the role of “Roadblock” a strong and experienced team leader of the G.I. Joes. The team has assignment to terminate the Cobra; the enemy of the people. But instead of receiving support from the government who is responsible for them being in the field ready for a fight with Cobra---their own government tries to terminate them all.

Now the ones who are still alive have two enemies after them---so they are joined by the original Joe (Bruce Willis) and we know there will be Hell to pay when he is involved. The word action is an understatement when Joe joins forces with Roadblock.

Dwayne is another one of my action heroes and I hope you enjoy this post about him.

Mr. Maivia gave Dwayne good genes also. Dwayne is from a long line of wrestlers who kept their bodies in excellent shape by eating the proper food and working out. Mr. 

Maivia was also known as the Flying Hawaiian. He wore the tribal tattoos which covers his abdomen and legs. He wore them in honor as they were a symbol of his High Chief status.

His grandson Dwayne Johnson has the tribal tattoo on his upper body to honor his grandfather.

What an amazing family and one I hope Dewayne has a son one day to pass the tradition on and keep the tribal tattoos going down the line of descendants.

Paul Walker

Paul William Walker IV was born in Glendale California September 12, 1973. Paul is 40 years old. His is 6’1” with eyes so blue they can take the breath away of any female on the planet.

He began his career as a toddler starring in TV commercials for Pampers---and has almost 37 years under his young belt as being in films. Paul is the oldest of five children. His mother Cheryl was a fashion model and his father Paul Walker III was a contractor.

The Fast and The Furious

2 Fast and 2 Furious
 However, I became a fan when I saw him in “The Fast and The Furious” and the story goes from there into all the fast driving movies in the series.

He has shared the screen with some of my biggest favorites, “Rock” Dwayne Johnson, and Michael Landon to name several and he has been in numerous TV series such as “The Young and the Restless” and has spread his wings and soared into the year 2013 with new movies being filmed and in the planning.                                              

  Fast and Furious 4

He is a single father with one child Meadow who lives with her mother. Paul’s career has not slowed down. He now lives alone with his dogs and enjoys life and his career and I wish him the very best in life.

                                                                            Fast 5

And as a fan I will look forward to all his movies in the future and I am still watching the ones he has made in the past. As I am a fan of action and adventure movies---he is now in my lineup of my favorite actors.

                  Fast and Furious 6

                                                          
2014/22/May---Paul Walker died on November 30, 2013; and I could not write anything on here until today---because it was so sad to no longer have him in our lives as an actor, friend, son, brother, and father. And, I would like to share some videos of his last movies on this post.

First is Fast and Furious 7

Actors of Action and Adventure Movies---My 5 Favorites

1.      Bruce Willis--- (Walter Bruce Willis) was born in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany on March 19, 1955. Bruce has been one of my favorite action heroes since Die Hard in 1988 as Officer John McClane. He had my attention from the very first of his Die Hard Movies—I love them all, and I adore his facetious remarks and his rough-edge character that is not afraid to force his acting to the limits of justice. Every Christmas I put my Die Hard DVD on---(I wore out the video of Die Hard)---and I am happy to watch Bruce in action. But I always want him to stop and take a shower---how does he stand being that  bloody and dirty in these films is beyond me.

My favorite movies of his are: Die Hard

Die Hard 2

Die Hard with a Vengeance

Live Free or Die Hard

 and now A Good Day to Die Hard which will open in 2013.

2.     
Antonio Banderas--- (Jose’ Antonio Dominguez Banderas) A Spanish film actor who was born in Malaga, Malaga, and Andalucía, Spain on August 10, 1960. My favorite movies of his are: My Mom’s New Boyfriend

Assassins

The Mask of Zorro

 Desperado

Antonio can play a mean killer who will not give in until the job is done. And he can play a lover whose eyes, voice and how he handles himself can melt the film in a movie.

Antonio has a new film coming out in May 2013  titled: 33 dias it is about Pablo Picasso's turmoil and relationship with an artist. Look for it in 2012.

3.     
Russell Crowe--- (Russell Ira Crowe) A New Zealand- Australian actor. He was born in Wellington, New Zealand on April 7, 1964. Russell is one of the most talented actors of our time as he can play action characters from fighting with a sword to using a piece of chalk in a beautiful mind. I love his voice and his looks of either hate or love. He is a strong actor and will be one of my favorite forever.

My favorite movies of his--- so far are:

Proof of Life

L.A. Confidential

Mystery, Alaska

Gladiator 

Cinderella Man

 Russell Crowe's Latest Movie "Les Miserables"  will open in theaters on Christmas Day

             Decembers 25th 2012.

4.     
Matt Damon--- (Matthew Paige “Matt” Damon) is an America actor who was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on October 8, 1970. He is such an excellent actor and so handsome when he smiles, it will take your breath away. I applauded his political voice and how he speaks out about his opinions.  But I like his action movies the best. My favorites are:

       Ocean’s Eleven

      

       The Bourne Identity

      

       The Bourne Supremacy

       The Bourne Ultimatum

       The Departed

Matt's latest film "Promised Land" will be in theaters January 4, 2013.

5. 
Mark Wahlberg--- (Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg) an American actor born in Dorchester, Boston on June 5, 1971. He is one of the most revered actors in Hollywood today.  His brute force and muscular body is something to be dealt with as his characters become so real one has to be reminded---this is only a movie. Some of my favorite movies are:

The Departed

The Fighter

The Perfect Storm

Contraband

Action and Adventure Actresses---5 of My Favorites

1.      Pamela Suzette Grier---An American Actress of Stage, Screen, Television and a backup singer. She was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on May 26^th 1949. She is a beautiful woman and a multi-talented actress who has 95 plus titles to her name. Pam is still actively working and has several films in her future already in pre-production and more rumored. This lady can light up the screen with her action and adventures.

My favorite movie was “Above the Law” she played Steven Seagal’s partner. It was an action packed movie and I still have the DVD which I am proud to own.

Pam two earliest movies in 1971 were---Women in Cages and The Big Doll House; both were filmed in the Philippines. While there she was stricken with a fatal tropical illness and almost expired. It took Pam almost a year to recover. 

She lost all her hair and was briefly blind for a month. What a terrible start to a career but for a strong lady she triumphed. Pam is also a cancer survivor after being diagnosed in 1988---and she overcame again.

 I wish this strong and talented lady a beautiful life of happiness and more success.

2.       Sigourney Weaver---Susan Alexandra Weaver is an American Actress. She was born in Manhattan October 8^th 1949. She is a beautiful 6’ tall lady who is better known to her fans as Ellen Ripley in her four Alien films. Films I had to watch although they gave me nightmares.

      

Her mother Elizabeth Inglis was a British Actress--- one of the most promising from her native land. However, she gave up her glowing career for her family. Her father Sylvester Weaver was an icon of television producers. He is credited with early morning and late night television that we all enjoy today.

 3.      Geena Davis---Virginia Elizabeth Davis is an American Actress. She was born in Wareham, Massachusetts on January 21, 1956. She is a beautiful 6’ tall lady who is also a film producer,

writer, television and a model for---Victoria Secret’s Catalogue. Because of her modeling she landed her first movie in 1982---Tootsie-- after Sydney Pollack spotted her in Victoria Secret’s Catalogue.

                                                    
And her career began with a flying start with an added great honor in 1999; Geena was positioned 24^th of the 28^th Semi-finalist for the Olympic Archery Team.

4.  Jennifer Garner---Jennifer Anne Garner is an American Actress, who also does Celebrity Advertising and she is a Film Producer. She was born April 17^th 1972 in Houston Texas. Jennifer is 5’8” of a beautiful woman who has the best dimples in Hollywood. When she smiles at a man he cannot take his eyes off her. Action and adventure is this actress’ distinctive characteristic.

She was reared in West Virginia by her father Bill---a former Chemical Engineer and her mother Pat---an English Teacher.Although she began her career in 1995 with the movie Zoya---she is better known for the TV series---Alias which was very popular for five years.

Peppermint (2018)

Jennifer is still very active in movies and has 42 Titles to her name. However, the greatest title is being a mommy to three children---two girls and a boy.

She was married to the handsome Ben Affleck who is an actor, producer, film director, write and best of all a daddy to their children.



5.  Angelia Jolie---Angelia Jolie Voight is an American Actress, producer and director. She was born June 4, 1975 to actor Oscar winning actor--Jon Voight and mother--- Marcheline Bertrand. Angeline Jolie has won many awards and she is on many magazines as one of the most beautiful women.

However, she is also beautiful on the inside with a heart as big as she is---she has spent many hours and her own money helping people and especially children. That alone makes her beautiful to me as outer beauty fades---but inner-beauty is forever. She was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

One of my favorite movies was---The Bone Collector which she became well known after playing with Denzel Washington in 1999. And then in the action movies I love of the Lara Croft series---Tomb Raider and then Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Making these some of the greatest action and adventure movies we have today.

Then in 2004 she co-starred in Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt who is now the love of her life. They have three children and three adopted children together.  They are a big happy family.
I wish them all the happiness in the world. And I hope you enjoyed reading about my action and adventure actresses---5 of my favorites.
