Actor filmography
Danny Trejo is an American actor. The following is a filmography of his work which consists of about 250 film and television roles.[1] His prominence in the B movie scene has resulted in disparate media sources referring to Trejo as an "iconic actor" and a "film legend", among other titles.[2] [3]
Trejo's film career began in 1985, when he "accidentally" landed a role in Runaway Train , playing a boxer for a daily fee of $320. Prior to that, Trejo had served time in prison on multiple occasions and worked as a drug counsellor after his release. Trejo credits the first movie in which he was given a proper credited role as Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987).[4] He went on to star in a multitude of other movies, including Desperado (1995), From Dusk till Dawn (1996), Con Air (1997), Reindeer Games (2000), and Grindhouse (2007), among others.[5]
From 2001 to 2003, Trejo appeared in the Robert Rodriguez-directed Spy Kids franchise as Isador "Machete" Cortez , in the films Spy Kids , Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams and Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over . In 2007, Trejo reprised his role in a fictional trailer in Grindhouse , also directed by Rodriguez; subsequently, in 2010, Trejo reprised his role as Machete in a spin-off exploitation film of the same name as the protagonist , also directed by Rodriguez. The character is cited as his "first major film role".[6] Subsequently, Trejo reprised his role as Machete in Spy Kids: All the Time in the World (2011), with the success of Machete also resulting in a direct sequel, Machete Kills , in 2013, with Trejo once again reprising his role.[1] Trejo has been cast in many television programmes, including Baywatch , where he portrayed different characters for different episodes.[7] Other than film and television appearances, Trejo has also been featured in a handful of music videos, including the video for Dustin Tavella's "Everybody Knows (Douchebag)" (2013).[8] He voiced the characters Umberto Robina for the video games Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (2006), himself in Def Jam: Fight for NY (2004), Raul Alfonso Tejada in Fallout: New Vegas (2010), Trainer Duke in The Fight: Lights Out (2010), himself in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (2018), and also himself in Far Cry 6 , among others.[7]
