Actor: Dave Bautista

Dave Bautista was a professional wrestler as Batista before Guardians of the Galaxy gave him Drax, whose complete literalism is the best running joke in those films.

He has been unusually deliberate about moving into dramatic work, taking Blade Runner 2049, Knock at the Cabin and Glass Onion.

Blade Runner 2049 opens with him, in a scene of considerable stillness, and he has said he took smaller serious roles specifically to avoid the action typecasting his background invited.
