Yeah he does.
This was brought up in a different thread earlier this year, and i listed a bunch of movies he was slated to be/star in. The number's likely grown by now.
Edit:
Here's a link that popped up when i was Googling his IMDB just now.
He's into double digits.

In the novel. In the movie his parents were white so it made sense that he was white (I assume they cast them after they cast him), though they kept Buenos Aires as his hometown.
Oh ok.
Did his ethnicity play a significant factor in the novel?
I honestly thought casting Casper Van Dien as the "All American White Boy" was pretty much part of the satirical appeal of the movie.

You could be right 😉
Don't think it matters that much, except that Heinlein kind of made a big deal about it, since he deliberately wrote the novel so you wouldn't find out his ethnicity until the end. That way the reader would identify with the character first before he or she realised he wasn't "All American White Boy", as you put it. 😂
"1. In the first chapter, we come to know that the protagonist is named Johnnie.
2. In Chapter 6, we find out that his mother calls him Juanito (diminutive of Juan).
3. In Chapter 12, we are told that his full name is Juan Rico, son of Emilio Rico.
4. In the penultimate chapter, Chapter 13, Rico reveals that his native tongue is Tagalog."
In the movie, however, it shouldn't matter that much, unless they plan to stick closer to the source material this time.

Yes it does.
it doesn't matter how a movie is made or how much passion and effort is invested because a bad movie is still a bad movie. It doesn't matter what you ate before taking a shit....,a turd is still a turd. 😛
I like Rock. I just want to see him do better movies.

Opinions affect math. Cool.
Ha ha ha - this makes me think of an article I saw a few weeks ago:
"An update issued Monday to the 2016–2017 Common Core educational standards now allows students to answer mathematics problems by responding with whatever their feelings are telling them at the time, sources confirmed.
One example problem given to illustrate the updated standards asked students to figure out when a 6:00 a.m. train leaving Boston at thirty miles per hour and a 7:00 a.m. Milwaukee train headed the opposite direction at forty miles per hour will intersect. A list of possible solutions to the sample problem published in the Common Core standards obtained by reporters indicated that “Ugh,” “I’m offended,” “Triggered,” “Trains scare me,” “Boston scares me,” “Milwaukee scares me,” and “Kill yourself,” would all be scored as correct.
“Any emotion, feeling, statement, or catchphrase is an acceptable answer to most of the problems in the new mathematics standards,” a Common Core representative told reporters. “As long as students are being sincere, genuine, authentic, and true to themselves at the time they are answering the question, that’s all we can ask as educators.”
“Who are we to tell anyone that their own mathematical truth is wrong?” the rep added."
😆 😆 😆

After reading the premise of Rampage, I kind of want to see a movie where a giant-sized Dwayne Johnson is stomping through a city.
