Originally the WWE World Champion for three years, Dave Bautista swapped his Heavyweight belt for a heavy-hitting filmography, now a Hollywood A-lister thanks to his role as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. But before he became the achingly literal, blue-skinned murder machine from outer space - Bautista was a drug dealer. And not a very important one.

Appearing in a role impressively titled The Drug Dealer #1, Bautista emerged as a seedy salesman selling cocaine to an heiress in one of the most terrible slasher movies to hit screens, in which reality TV stars are abducted and murdered in a tabloid frenzy of uncomfortable proportions.

Bautista's role is very small, as his character's name suggests, but it's hilarious to look back and see him and Danny Trejo in a motel room shifting white powder now he's one of the faces of the MCU. Especially when you hear that god awful joke about Twinkie hair.

Hey, we've all got to start somewhere.
