I was an amateur wrestler, which I loved. It was my passion, but I started really late; I was a junior in high school when I began.
Dave BautistaI really feel like indie films are where I learn to be a better actor, especially because they always give you a bit more freedom to collaborate.
Dave BautistaI'm more a fan of old-school films with really interesting stories and good performances. That's what I'd like to do.
Dave BautistaIn wrestling there are so many people inside and outside the ring, and it's so live, and it's this whole adrenaline thing. Whereas you move it into this more intimate thing, everything gets all quiet, someone says action, and you have to say the lines and make the words your own. It couldn't be any more different and it's weird sometimes trying to explain that to people. When I tell people that acting is much more terrifying to me than going out in front of ten thousand people, they don't quite believe it because for some reason that intimacy is just terrifying to me.
