People derided Batista for his one-word role in Spectre, but how many other wrestlers can claim to have played a James Bond baddie? Better yet, how many wrestlers can claim to have been in any movie that wasn't produced by WWE Studios?

Despite being well into his 40s when he decided to pursue a career in Hollywood, the Animal has shown that there is life after WWE for anyone with the determination and ambition to pursue the biggest opportunities (note: it also helps if you have freakish strength and a menacing stare).

What's remarkable is that Dave's last WWE run ended on a sour note after he was jeered despite being (initially) marketed as a triumphant face - yet, were he to come back now, after his brush with the mainstream, there's a good chance he'd be more loved than ever.
