Over 250 roles 30 years. Danny Trejo certainly doesn't rest on his laurels. He's one of the most popular B-movie actors of all time, and has appeared in every cult film/show that you can name; Breaking Bad, From Dusk Till Dawn, Desperado, Con Air, The X-Files, Anchorman, Halloween, Grindhouse, Machete... Even Muppets Most Wanted. How has Trejo managed to avoid A-list fame when he has shown up in all of these and so many more? He's an exceptional actor and a willing worker. Could it be - whisper it - a sign of industrialised racism that an actor of Mexican descent has never reached the same heights as others in the business? Whatever the reason, Trejo is adored by his fans. Machete was his sort of love letter to those that have stuck by him throughout his career, watching him slog it out in some of the lowest-budget horrors and exploitation films in the world in the hope of making cameo appearances in bigger projects.
