Danny Trejo
Danny Trejo is a popular Mexican-American actor who is well-known for playing tough guys in action films like XXX and Predator.
In his youth he was a drug addict and criminal, and he served time in San Quentin prison.

After he left jail, he got a job on the 1985 film Runaway Train, where he trained the star, Eric Roberts for a fight scene. As a result of this, the director, Andrei Konchalovsky, offered him a part in the film..
He is the cousin of film-maker Robert Rodriguez, with whom he has made s Everal films. Actors he has made films with include Johnny Depp, George Clooney and Jean-Claude Van Damme. His most frequent co-stars are Antonio Banderas and Jessica Alba.
He has appeared in music videos for artists as diverse as the rapper Tech N9ne and the Jonas Brothers.
In May 2011, Trejo made his first debut as a cameo role in Call Of Duty: Black Ops, as a playable Character in the Zombie map "Call of The Dead", a map created by George A Romero. Trejo featured alongside Michael Rooker, Robert Englund and Sarah Michelle Gellar in the game.
