  1. Big break

    Rock's first film role and big break came when Eddie Murphy, after seeing him perform at a nightclub, befriended and mentored him, then cast him in Beverly Hills Cop II.

  2. Behind the camera

    Rock and his friend and fellow comedian Louis C.K. wrote Down to Earth, which came out in 2001. The Warren Beatty movie Heaven Can Wait, released in 1978, served as the basis for it.

  3. A role that slipped away

    Rock intended to depart Saturday Night Live once the 1992-93 season ended, but he was effectively "fired" from the show instead.
