      John Cena and Dave Bautista can both be hilarious comedic actors. I’d give John the edge in the being the funnier of the two. But I’ve also seen Dave play serious, sweet, dramatic, even menacing. Hell he was basically all 4 of those in Knock at the Cabin, alone. Dude has got range.

      Dwayne Johnson is good at playing Dwayne Johnson™.

        Dwayne Johnson is good at playing Dwayne Johnson™.

        his comedic chops seems really good in the movie named “the rundown”

          Yeah, I do feel like early acting career Dwayne had more range. More recently he is just the rock in various settings, wardrobes and occasional wigs. It’s probably not even entirely his fault though. Presumably the producers and directors are telling him to be this way. He’s been typecast as the same stereotypical cocky macho guy over and over. And don’t get me wrong, he’s still funny sometimes. But he is still just portraying basically himself, most of the time.

    Rowdy Roddy Piper, not only for his performance in John Carpenter’s “They Live”, one of my favorite movies, but also his portrayal of the multi-layered and powerful character of “Da Maniac”. RIP

      I don’t know, i’ve NEVER seen a believable performance from Dwayne Johnson. But John Cena and Bautista have both really dug down and widened their range. The rock does the same movie, same shirt, same stupid Kevin Hart addition, constantly. The guy from The Run Down is the same as the guy from fast and furious is the same from gridiron gang.

      Dwayne is by far the worst on the list. I hate every role hes in because he just plays The Rock every time. Ive heard the Rockscer movie is okay but idk if ill ever watch it.

      Bautista and Cena have both had fantastic roles (especially recently) though my personal pick would 100% be Bautista.

      I didn’t see Cena as an option. But I’d vote for him if he was there.
