Movies Is Dave Bautista the best pro wrestler turned actor?

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Who else is better than him?

This performance right here beats anything else any pro wrestler has done in their careers imo.



Here's his whole career I believe so far.

 

[Van Daz]

Yes!

Cena & The Rock are in movies & they make me laugh, but Dave is a better actor than both.

Your thread is over, you may go in peace.

He has a range, I'll give him that. In the few movies I have seen him in he has effectively played his parts and they have been quite different.

Are we living in an alternate universe where Mr Nanny doesn’t exist?

No he's good, but he hasn't done anything like the performance Bautista did in Blade Runner.

It's a low bar, let's be honest.

Ventura had a couple of memorable roles but he wasn't great.

Luca Brasi, Ande, Piper, ditto.

Ox Baker in Escape from New York makes it a tough call but I do believe you're right.

 

[Natural Order]

 

[Pliny Pete]

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Low bar but an easy yes.

 

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

I thought Stone Cold was great in The Condemned.

Yeah...its not really a high bar at all. Dave's like the Made In China version of the Rock...He's the Go-Bot version of the Transformers. Personally I think Carrot Top is a better actor but to each their own.

Awesome Cult classic involving one of the greatest fight scenes in movies.

If you haven't seen Peacemaker, you may not be qualified to judge Cena.

Best performance of his career.

or suburban commando?

If you haven't seen Peacemaker, you may not qualified to judge Cena.

Best performance of his career.

it is certainly one he was completely natural in.

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

The list of classics goes on forever my dudes,

 

[jeff7b9]

I thought Cena nailed his part in Ricky Stanicky.

And for what it's worth, that is a much more challenging role than all of the "Big guy with muscles" roles that most other wrestlers have done.
