“The Texas Rattlesnake” Steve Austin made his attempt at acting in earnest around 2004. He had booked the gig in Adam Sandler’s The Longest Yard. This first movie role came years after being a standout guest star on Nash Bridges.
At this point, Dave Bautista has shown himself capable of great range. He’s played comedic, dramatic, and brutish. He performs every role he steps into at a high level.
