70 let.Pozdravlyaem !!!

Born May 16, 1944 in Los Angeles, California (USA).
As a teenager, Danny was a criminal and a drug addict for 11 years and then went to jail.
In 1985, he accidentally fell on the set of the film Andron Konchalovsky's "Runaway Train", where he was immediately offered a small role, perhaps because of the abundance of tattoos.



All this is just a memorable actor you've seen about forty Hollywood films. It is hard not to remember: the lanky Mexican flecked with scars and smallpox face, hard look and strong fists occurs in the frame each time, as soon as the main goodie think that all the problems were far behind. Danny Trejo - the so-called remarkable man, whose specialization in the movie speaks for itself - the main villain. And whose biography is where any action movie fun!
He haggling drugs and weapons, and when it came to "dismantling", first exit on the line. Not by chance among cronies and, later, in the criminal environment of the strongest young men stuck the nickname "Big» / Major. He was fearless and invulnerable to sharp blades and bullets smashing. Like a charm, as if fate had prepared him far more weighty test ...
Eleven years severe sentence for a robbery he took for granted, and immediately began to develop in a new role. In the area it was not so bad. Later, in his only TV interview Danny Trejo acknowledged that the street was for him a prison and that he had just moved to a new location.
Among the inmates he does not differ by about minded. Instead, English classes for prisoners, he disappeared for hours in the gym, where the thousandth time working out the Crown left jab. In the end, tenacious Mexican guy noticed the prison thugs and was admitted to the "holy of holies" - the zone championship boxing. In his early 22, he became the champion of the San Quentin prison in two weight categories - light heavyweight and heavy. At the end of the 12-match tiraundovogo coach pounces on the opponent Trejo with a knife, but a boxer and sends that to the floor of the ring!



He replaced nine prisons and zones, until he was released. Experience gleaned behind bars more than enough - Danny decided that never again repeat this way. Trying to poobvyknut new role, the ex-convict agrees to months-long rehabilitation program developed by the government.
This is where it happens with an amazing twist of fate, to radically change his future life. At a meeting of Narcotics Anonymous (more precisely, those who are trying to get rid of destructive habits) approaches him and someone offers to train the actor boxing. It appears that will soon begin shooting a Hollywood action movie in which the protagonist escapes from prison.
So Danny Trejo has appeared for the first time in his life on the set. The prison drama with elements of thriller "Runaway Train" (1985) was nominated for several Academy Awards, including for the most prestigious "Oscar" - "The best film of the year».
But is not it interesting, but the fact that the film director Andron Konchalovsky, seeing how enthusiastically Danny Trejo coached actor Eric Roberts for the scene of the prison boxing match, Trejo decided to make a hero of that same episode. Thanks to this coincidence colorful kinobandyugan received a residence permit in the big Hollywood.



Since lack of proposals have not. An endless series went negative supporting roles - "Maniac Cop 2", "3 Tyuryaga", "Death Wish 4», & quot; Transaction Shannon & quot ;, «drug war», «Kinjite» ...
Mexican tattooed with developing hair in the wind and not saying a word (Trejo still speaks in broken English) strikes fear in the audience just by their appearance one!
The classic role of a villain made his knife thrower Navajo blockbuster «Desperado», an evil vampire bartender Charlie - "Blade" in the horror film "From Dusk Till Dawn" sexual maniac Johnny "Johnny 23" Buck in the blockbuster "Prison plane" and gangster named "Scarface" in the drama "The Trojan War".



In recognition of Trejo, the hardest thing for him - the communion with the other actors. "The only one who is not afraid of me, and speak normally - this Nicklas Cage" - says Danny. On the set of «Con Air» Trejo helped Hollywood star in all episodes of communicating with "kinougolovnikami", prompting the correct intonation and the only possible course of action. He also helped to master the famous Cage zekovsky reception - a blow from below. As well as a strong psychological trick - how to face a foe and not blink!
2000 is going well for him - he starred in five films, two of which - Mexican.
In October, the US box office started the film "Animal Factory» / Animal Factory, where Trejo first tried his hand at producing. His close friend and pal Steve Buscemi has directed, and in small roles felons noted his good friends Mickey Rourke, William Dafoe, John Hurd, Seymour Cassel. "None of us can not be called handsome, so we like to get together!»



Especially for the project «Animal Factory» Trejo invited Edward Bunker, his former cellmate at San Quentin prison, which is now in Hollywood is a well known writer.
In 2001, Danny Trejo ... first played a positive role. His character in the teen film "Bubble Boy from" boy helps to understand where it ends and begins the evil acts of kindness.
