About (Profile/Biography):
Dave Bautista is a well-known American professional wrestler born in Oklahoma.

Career:
With an uncredited role in Greg Glienna's film "Relative Strangers," Dave Bautista made his acting debut. Three years later, in the 2009 American-German film "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?" was when he made his next film appearance.

Bautista joined the crew of the 24th James Bond movie, "Spectre," in October 2014, playing the role called Mr. Hinx. He barely used one phrase in the movie, "Shit," but he agreed to play the part because he has always loved the Bond movie franchise.
