By this point, even if you're a casual watcher of anything in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then you at least know of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Drax, played by Dave Bautista has become a favorite amongst fans for his brutal honesty and amazing fight scenes.
He was a wrestler!
So it definitely provided him with the build that he needed to play Drax.
He is known for being brutally honest, and equally as brutal in a fight.
But that's what makes him so fun to watch.
Dave Bautista had a little trouble during his audition for the show.
Acting is a tough process, as each time you have to put your toe on the line for a film or TV show.
He said that his agent told him, "It was really hard to get, they didn’t really want to audition you. They didn’t want any pro wrestlers, so I don’t want to get your hopes up.’”
“I was terrified. I was really desperate at the time, I had hardly worked in three years, and I had gone broke from wrestling and I was desperate to get a job."
"My first and second auditions, my acting coach came with me. I read for Sarah Finn, she’s amazing. I read with her and she said ‘Don’t be nervous. Take your time, we can be here all day.’” He said.
Bautista obviously got the role of Drax and will be returning in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
