Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

David Michael Bautista Jr. on January 18th, 1969 in Washington D.C. He took on his father's name while his younger sister was named after his mother Donna Raye Bautista. In honor of his birthplace, he got his right bicep tatted "D.C. Soldier" which is great and all but I wonder how Marvel feels about him sporting D.C. So hard. While his mother is of Greek ancestry, his father was born to immigrants from the Philippines. His paternal grandfather was also active in his family's life and helped out the family as a taxi cab driver and amateur barber. Growing up, money was tight. In fact, that's an understatement.
