Danny Trejo
Danny Trejo is an American actor who starred in several films, including Heat (1995), Con Air (1997), Bubble Boy (2001), and Desperado (1995). Before starting his acting career, he worked as a labor foreman in construction.
In addition, it’s no secret that Trejo had some problems with the authorities when he was young and he has been in prison a few times, but what many people don’t know about him is that, while serving in San Quentin, he became a champion boxer.
He also helped some people overcome their drug addiction and one of them introduced him to screenwriter Edward Bunker on the Runaway Train set. Bunker gave him the opportunity to train his actors because he knew about his boxing talent. However, the director decided to give Trejo a supporting role in the film after all.
