Really not a fan of Bautista. This is taking me from interested in the show to probably skipping it.
Bautista is just another angry dude with one note acting, like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena.
Honestly would have preferred to see the likes of Michael B. Jordan cast.
Did you see Bladerunner 2049? He doesn't play "angry" in that one, even though he's only in the opening scene.
Yep. Typecast is not the same thing as having no range. Bautista is no Costner. He did play Big angry man in Guardians of the galaxy. A lot of the humor the character had was brought by Bautista. And not scripted or rehearsed. I didn't want to like Cena either. But he genuinely seems a pretty good guy with a decent bit of range. Duane, is okay. But yes he absolutely is very samey and nearly every role I've ever seen him in.
Duane is the most typecast among them. Haven't seen him in jack shit that wasn't an action/comedy mix set in a jungle, except the CIA one. No jungle in that.
He probably could do more, but nobody casts him for anything else. Though that may be because he's an asshole on set nobody wants to work with.
Yeah, central intelligence was the mildly biggest stretch I've seen him do.
I actually liked the Jumanji sequels because they could just go all out with it. I especially liked in the second/third one when they were playing the old characters, first getting into the game.
Eh, he's arguably the best wrestler-turned-actor right now and has more range than Cena or Johnson. His filmography is diverse and he does play different roles, not just the loud, angry, dumbass in Marvel that everyone associates him with. Cena is good at comedy, but that's pretty much only where he thrives. Nevermind Johnson who literally plays himself on everything.
The turd I left in the toilet this morning has more range than Johnson or cena.
let's see your audition tapes and let lemmy judge
I think you may be unjustly disregarding John Cena.
Trust me, I wanted to not like him, but he's actually a pretty good actor when it's required. And he's a genuinely funny dude.
I think Bautista may also be a better actor than you think, but I don't feel as strongly about all that... Cena is surprisingly good though.
If like to have seen David Dastalmachian as Kratos.
