He’s starred in AMC’s Breaking Bad, FX’s Sons of AnarchyDesperado, Machete, and Spy Kids. Danny owns restaurants including Trejo’s Tacos, Trejo’s Cantina, and Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts in the Los Angeles area. We discuss his remarkable journey from prison to blockbuster movies, which is captured in his new memoir “TREJO”, during this podcast episode.
The 5 questions I ask in this episode:
- Why were you originally drawn into the systems of crime and violence and how were you able to transition into a new life as a Hollywood actor?
- How did your struggles with addiction, crime, and an abusive childhood inspire your acting roles and serve as motivation for your career?
- In your long career spanning hundreds of acting credits, how have you been able to separate the person people see in movies from who you are as a person?
- Why has it been difficult for you to help your children with the struggles they’re experiencing when you’ve already been through them?
- What’s your best piece of career advice?
