Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 65615, member: 636"] Actor Dwayne Johnson said Brendan Fraser launched his film career by welcoming him on the set of The Mummy Returns in 2001. Johnson appeared on the New Heights podcast, explaining that Fraser could have rejected him as an inexperienced wrestler joining a major franchise. The former WWE performer said Fraser supported him despite his lack of acting training, and he expressed gratitude for that early acceptance. Johnson played the Scorpion King in approximately five minutes of screen time at the beginning and at the end of the Stephen Sommers fantasy sequel. The biographical sports drama The Smashing Machine features Johnson as former amateur wrestler Mark Kerr alongside Emily Blunt. Benny Safdie directed the film about the mixed martial arts fighter's life. [/QUOTE]
