I'm sorry, but as good an actor as the Rock is, I think he should have a stipulation in his contract that he not be forced to wear wigs or hairpieces.

The Rock is bald. This is vital. It's like cutting Samson's hair, his baldness is the source of his strength.

    Polynesian mythology places strong emphasis on hair. Hair is the source of mana, evidence of warrior prowess, directly symbolizing strength and connection to ancestors.

    You can't really have a Polynesian demigod portrayed as a bald guy, it would be like having a beardless twink in jeans and wife beater play Santa.
