Trejo

Categories:

11.69

On screen, Danny Trejo is the most recognisable anti-hero in Hollywood. But off screen, he is so much more. The ultimate hard-knock-lifer, and a true man of the world, he has all the stories, and all the scars. Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled from an early age with heroin addiction, doing time in some of the country’s most notorious prisons, before breaking into acting. Starring in modern classics and cult hits alike, including Heat, Breaking Bad, From Dusk Till Dawn and Sons of Anarchy, Danny has worked with silver-screen icons like Robert De Niro and Charles Bronson. Now, Danny recounts how he survived the horrors of jail, rebuilt his life, and drew inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbery heists of his past to forge his on-screen legend. Redemptive and raw, Trejo is an unforgettable journey through tragedy, pain, and success. Told with cowboy appeal, gritty rebel wisdom, and total honesty, these are outlaw stories from the frontiers: the frontiers of prison, of Hollywood, and of life.

On screen, Danny Trejo is the most recognisable anti-hero in Hollywood – killed at least a hundred times, he steals every scene he’s in. But off screen, he is so much more. The ultimate hard-knock-lifer, and a true man of the world, he has all the stories, and all the scars. Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled from an early age with heroin addiction and doing time in some of the country’s most notorious state prison, including Folsom and San Quentin – where he met Charles Manson – before starring in such modern classics as ‘Heat’, ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’, and ‘Machete’. Now, Danny takes us over the peaks and through the valleys of his life, including meeting one of the world’s most infamous serial killers and working with icons like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro.
