Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson took to social media to introduce the actors playing himself and his family in the upcoming NBC single-camera comedy series based on his life. Young Rock will be based on the wrestler-turned-movie star's early years and the plan so far is for one 11-episode season.
Johnson describes the show, which is officially starting production, as follows:
"A series based on my wild and unpredictable childhood and formative years growing up."
"This passion project is special and I’m boundless grateful to EVERYONE who is lending their talents, passion, love and mana to bring it to life."
Check out photos and The Rock's thoughts on the actors playing his grandmother (Ana Tuisila), his mother (Stacey Leilua), his father (Joseph Lee Anderson), and himself at the ages of 10 (Adrian Groulx), 15 (Bradley Constant), and 20 (Uli Latukefu).
