Mexican-American actor Danny Trejo didn\u2019t spend years studying to become an actor, his boxing skills honed in prison, led Director Andrei Konchalovsky to seek his help in training an actor in Runaway Train.<\/p>\n

The Director, warned Trejo that the actor he was training might \u201csock him,\u201d which Trejo responded by saying, \u201cfor $320 bucks, you could give him a stick!\u201d<\/p>\n

Trejo, shared with the audience at Motor City Comic Con how he got into acting and those things that are important to him. Giving back to others has become a way of life for the actor that is as important to him as working with his family.<\/p>\n

\"\"Whether it\u2019s giving clothing to the homeless, feeding the hungry or as he described following a messy divorce, passing out money in downtown Los Angles. \u201cThe minute my attitude changes, that to start feeling what I feel good about, instead of what I feel bad about, life gets better,\u201d stated Trejo.<\/p>\n

When asked to describe his favorite character he portrayed, Trejo shared his relationship with Director Michael Mann. Mann directed the movie The Jericho Mile, which was filmed on location at the Folsom Prison. To film, Mann had to negotiate with the Mexican Union, headed up by Trejo\u2019s Uncle Gilbert.<\/p>\n

Later when Trejo was cast in Heat\u2014also directed by Mann\u2014the director shared, \u201cevery time I look at you, I thank about your Uncle\u2026 you mind if I call you Gilbert\u2026 in the movie my name is Gilbert Trejo, so every time my family sees that movie\u2026 everyone cries\u2026 it\u2019s kind of a homage to my tio. So, I\u2019m very proud of that,\u201d Trejo stated.<\/p>\n

Trejo has several parts in films and television that are due out this year and more that have been announced or in post-production. The parts range from voice over characters in cartoons, to the bad guy image that got him started. His acting has also allowed him to create Trejo\u2019s Tacos a restaurant chain that may soon be coming to Metro Detroit.<\/p>\n
