Danny Trejo is in EVERYTHING
 
i was looking around imdb and it looks like Danny Trejo will have credited parts in around 30!!! movies this year alone. How in the hell does he do it? Are there a mini-army of Danny Trejo's out there that will one day come together to save us from the returning alien dinosaurs from the center of the earth or does he just fly around and spend 2-3 days on every low-budget action/horror film being made

imdb link:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001803/

He has to make up for his embarrassing ritualistic dance in "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" somehow....

If it weren't for that one big misstep he'd be 100% awesome. That one took the level down about 60% or so, it was just that bad.

And to think about how many MORE movies he could've been in if it weren't for jailtime!

Height never hurt Cruise's career.

I've been seeing Danny is stuff for many years and I always think it's cool when a character actor breaks out and gets noticed.

Sadly not everything he's in is great (I've know idea if it will be good but...yeah)... I might see it for a laugh though.

Love his crying scene...

If Danny Trejo can get a lead role, then I think Al Leong should get a lead role. He deserves it for being shot up by action heros in all the 1990s action films:

That was like a spoof of a real action movie. :)

Donal Logue has no business crying in a movie either from the looks of this....

I have to see this, not only for Trejo, but Jason Snooch-To-The-Mother-Fucking MEWES!

Snoogans, bitch!

I always wondered why he was in Die Hard. Group of German terrorists, a black guy, and one weird Asian dude...and they didn't even make him the computer expert!!

He is now a entrepreneur.


Nowadays, you may find the actor at Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts, a small, bright pink walk-up shop, located just blocks from Hollywood Boulevard and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. An homage to his Latino roots, the doughnuts come in names such as “Abuelita,” “O.G.,” “Margarita,” Café Con Leche,” Low Rider,” and “Coco Loco.”

Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts is not the 73-year-old’s first eatery. Since March of 2016, he has opened Trejo’s Tacos, Trejo’s Cantina, and Trejo’s taco truck -- present at every Rams home game. Trejo is a longtime and well-known Rams fan.

Within the next six months, he’ll also open Trejo’s Cantina, in Pasadena and Trejo’s Tacos at the University Southern California (USC) Village. He may have been a “bad kid,” as he tells NBC Latino, but he’s matured into a savvy entrepreneur, with a plan to take the Trejo’s brand national and eventually valued at close to $100 million, according to Forbes.

Trejo lives three miles from where he grew up in Pacoima, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. He is known for roles in “Con Air,” Blood In, Blood Out,” “Heat,” “Desperado,” and “Spy Kids,” just to name a few. He is fast with the “Hey homie,” to fans shouting at him while he’s on his daily four-mile walks, and says he always signs autographs and never says no to photos because “it could make somebody’s day.”

The coffee and donuts are ok, but the tacos are garbage and almost $4 EACH. They are not traditional either, which sucks.
