Hulk Hogan made a big impact in Hollywood, both in and out of the wrestling ring. His most memorable movie roles, starting with "Rocky III."

Hulk Hogan made a big movie impact out of the wrestling ring starting with "Rocky III." Here are the most memorable.

In his later years, Hogan was better known as a reality TV star, headlining the two season VH1 series, Hogan Knows Best and appearing on its one-and-done follow-up, Brooke Knows Best. He also had cameos on comedy series ranging from The Inbetweeners to The Goldbergs.

It's hard to overstate just how violent and commie-hating American pop culture was in the 1980s. The late wrestler was among its biggest stars.

The appearance proved successful both for "Rocky III" — which grossed more than $270 million worldwide — and Hogan, whose debut set him up for a variety of film roles. Hogan appeared in "No Holds Barred" before earning starring roles in "Suburban Commando" and "Mr. Nanny," among other movies.

The late Hulk Hogan was more than a pro wrestler - he was a Hollywood mainstay, starring in movies and TV shows as characters fans will never forget.

Hulk Hogan's journey from WWE wrestling star to Hollywood actor included memorable roles in "Rocky III" and the reality show "Hogan Knows Best" before his death at age 71.
