The dude knew he was typecasted but grew rich doing it. Can't really fault him for taking on work offered and promoting the shit out of it. I only wish other former wrestlers like Bautista were offered more roles, I really liked his role in Blade Runner 2049.

Bautista's getting a ton of roles. Some of his movies have been pretty good.

I of course am the kind of weirdo who actually liked In the Lost Lands.
