Danny Trejo - Machete Kills
His new film opens tomorrow -- looks like a lot of fun:
Grantland has a
nice biography:
Nothing Can Kill Danny Trejo
Danny Trejo has been stabbed, shot, maimed, crushed, hung, choked, decapitated, and blown to bits. He's had hypodermic needles jabbed into his neck. He's had a power drill run through his brain. He's had an immolating crucifix speared into his vampire heart. Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro have killed him. Stone Cold Steve Austin and 50 Cent have killed him. Mickey Rourke has killed him twice.
In 2010, after nearly three decades of bit parts as brutal, doomed toughs, Trejo finally starred in a movie, as the title character in Machete, a mythical, mass-murdering executor of justice. In a couple of days, the gonzo sequel Machete Kills will hit theaters, cementing Trejo as just about the least likely Hollywood franchise star you can imagine.
Not that that'll change anything. He's 69 years old, the deep grooves and puffy lids of his cracked, cragged face a document of a life lived hard. And he's still on hand to die for you.
A long and well written biography -- Danny has led an "
interesting" life to say the least...
