The life and times of Danny Trejo.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Danny Trejo is one of the most easily recognized stars in Hollywood.  Trejo has over 445 acting credits on his resume.  With that said, it was an amazing journey to get to his current status since Trejo spent much of his childhood addicted to drugs and in juvenile detention.  As a young adult Danny Trejo served time at San Quentin for drug and robbery convictions.

Yet despite all that, Danny Trejo turned his life around.  Now when he’s not on location filming for his latest project, Danny Trejo spends his time speaking at prisons, youth centers and giving back to the community that used to fear him.

Inmate #1: The Rise of Danny Trejo (2019) rates 3 of 5 stars.
