I'm just requoting the whole thing because I thought about it and pretty much agree. I think it's easy for Hollywood to typecast him because he's dealing with the stigma of being a wrestler turned actor. Even if you call the rock successful, he still just does primarily action movies. Batista has done mostly action movies as well but he's done plenty of roles where he's shown off just how great an actor he is. He should be fine finishing his career 20 years down the road having a pretty admirable filmology. That being said I'm liking him less and less as a person as time goes by, but c'est la vie
Well he has always been kind of a douchebag even back to WWE times.
You know the first one isn't real, right? Second is a terrible angle, but shit like that also happens when you take away the photoshop.
I saw the WWE live for a house show back 98/99 in Toronto, Stone Cold and The Rock headlined, and when Kaine comes out and you see how fucking huge he actually is it was awe inspiring. Dude is fucking HUGE.
i mean... you understand that actors DO get turned down for roles, right? just because we've never seen him as a romantic lead doesn't mean he hasn't gone for those roles.
I work with a couple guys in their 50s who are more ripped than Bautista. If you have the will you can do it. They are both surprisingly cool for roided out blackies. I ask all the time if their balls have cancer yet or if they’ve started lactating and they just joke back.
as much as i dislike Harrison Ford the person, he is/was an amazing actor and smart enough to avoid being typecast for his entire career while remaining successful. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher not so much. Bautista probably tried, but he needs to keep trying.
Even if Bautista was smart enough to get out earlier than most, 15 years of pro wrestling is still a lot of extra damage to your body.
i think early in mark hamill's career he was stuck as luke skywalker, which might have been what drew him to voice acting. but he's an EXTREMELY prolific voice actor.
jesus fuck bautista is just a bleh actor,
i mean ok, but in person acting he's still Luke Skywalker whenever you see him. he's not well known visually for anything else. Hamill survived on voice work. Carrie, she fucked her own career up because she was an alkie and drug addict for most of her life. meanwhile Ford was Han, Indy, Blade Runner, Fugitive and many other famous roles. i'm sure there are still old ladies who wet their Depends thinking about him. its really not a fair comparison because Bautista isnt even in Ford's league, but its just a testament that you dont have to be typecasted unless you allow yourself to be. if you allow yourself to be, then nut up or shut up.
