It was impossible to dredge up a candid snap of a skinny Big Dave Bautista before he fulfilled the nominative determinism of his most regular sobriquet, because they simply don't exist.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know).
