Dude has solid construction worker/steal worker/pipeline vibes and could easily pull off a blue collar dude with a broken marriage to the high school cheerleader, alimony, child support… make it a redemption story, the good dad, meets abused single mom etc. starts life over…

If Woody Allen (looking like a Pixar character) could get people to believe he was a love interest in all those movies, Dave could EASILY carry a rom-com franchise.

Need Bautista to play a family man with a wife and 4 kids who wears cable knit sweaters, runs a little bookstore and is just trying to provide and get by. Just a nice slice of life tale.
