12 Toughest Hollywood Actors Of All Time

5. Danny Trejo

Danny. Friggin. Trejo. Not only does it look like this guy eats rocks for breakfast, he has the well-documented street credentials to back up that he was destined for a life behind bars €“ he's already spent 11 of his years in jail €“ if it weren't for Hollywood discovering that behind that scowl and score of tattoos was a personality his second cousin Robert Rodriguez could really work with. In 2013 alone, he had 20 credits in film and TV productions added to his name. Most actors are lucky to get four. With a career that started roughly as being typecast as prisoners, thugs or people who get shot by Charles Bronson, it wasn't until Trejo's turn as Razor Charlie in From Dusk Til Dawn that the bigger breaks finally start coming. From Michael Bay's Con-Air to his starring role in Machete, Trejo is known not only for his sense of grounded-in-real-life humour but for also having never turned down a role if he could help it. Look for him to pass the Three Century Credit mark sometime early next year. However, I can't guarantee they'll all be good €“ for example in the recent (and doomed to SyFy) Ghostquake he spent the majority of his screen-time locked in a cupboard before going shirtless to wrestle a demon in the spirit world. Actually, that sounds pretty awesome.

Been there, done that but not too well. Continually financially restrained. Now (and still) lives in Western Canada and talks some hockey and parenting on ogieoglethorpe.blogspot.ca and watching trailers on 2minutemovies.blogspot.ca.
