Given his first performance on Saturday Night Live, this role might be very good for the Rock. It would allow him to show a different, more humorous side that could translate into better roles down the road.

Judging from the box-office performance of "PowerPuff Girls", I don't know if Johnny Bravo will be a hit. Then again The Rock is going to star in this. So we'll see.
I was under the impression that the Johnny Bravo cartoon character is white, whereas The Rock is half black, half Samoan. I'm smiling at the thought of The Rock playing Johnny Bravo because I'm sure he'd do a wonderful job, however...

Maybe I was watching the wrong cartoons as a kid (and growing up in Canada, maybe I didn't see all the ones there were to see) but who is Johnny Bravo? I assume he's no relation to Dino, eh?
Bravo's only been around for a few years. For awhile he was the flagship for Cartoon Network. He's basically a big guy with big hair who unsucessfuly tries to pick up chicks. His adventures consist of him going around, trying to look good, in his blonde hair, blue jeans and sunglasses and getting into trouble while trying to pick up beautiful babies.
I'll probably see it. Rock acting dumb on the big scree could be funny.

I'm sorry, but I CAN imagine skin color making a difference. Rock, with his peanut buttery/brown skin (as he called it) donning a bright yellow wig to play a Venice Beach-esque muscle man just seems like it won't look right. I know it's supposed to look all cartoony, but if they're trying to keep Bravo's look, it ain't gonna work with the Rock.
Originally posted by ErrorNah, they could just say he got a really wicked tan one day.
As for the hair, well, does he really have to be blond?
Actually yes, considering that's what Johnny Bravo has. Like I said before, I have no problem with The Rock as Johnny Bravo -- unless they're trying to make him look like the cartoon character.
*sigh* No one seems to remember that the original gimmick (for the first few episodes anyway) of Johnny Bravo was:
"We're the only cartoon daring enough to feature other people's cartoons!"
That made the show funny originally, then it dragged a bunch, but now it's pretty good just going with the stupidity of Johnny.
And of course Harvey Birdman stole his gimmick, to much greater success.

With poison running through your veins, and death marching solemnly towards you, heroic acts become more of a necessity as you see your time dwindling.
Vanquishing your enemies, making amends to those you have wronged, and leaving words of love and kindness for those around you become second nature as your own mortality looms
However, true strength lies not in these last desperate acts, but in the actions of one who has to get out of bed the next day and face the consequences of doing that which you believe is right.

Peanut buttery/brown skin... bright yellow hair... Venice Beach-esque muscle man... This is something you can't see ever coming together?

Oh well. I haven't watched cartoons in such a long time.
But the Rock as Johnny Bravo? Nononononononononononononono!
Anyone but the Rock! if they must make a Johnny Bravo movie, make it a cartoon movie! Please! they'll kill the series with a live action movie.
