Trejo

On screen, Danny Trejo is Hollywood's most famous antihero—he's been killed at least 100 times, stealing the show in every scene he's in. But off screen, he's so much more. He's a tough guy who's lived his life, a real man, with all the stories and all the scars. Danny grew up in an abusive home, struggled from a young age with heroin addiction, and served time in some of the nation's most notorious state prisons, including Folsom and San Quentin—where he met Charles Manson—before starring in contemporary classics and blockbuster hits like Heat, Breaking Bad, From Dusk Till Dawn, Sons of Anarchy, Desperado, Machete, and many more. Now, Danny takes us on a journey through the highs and lows of his life, including meeting one of the world's most notorious serial killers and working with icons like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro. In haunting detail, Danny recounts how he dealt with the horrors of prison, rebuilt his life, and drew inspiration from his past's action-packed heists to play the movie roles that made his legend. Heartfelt, moving, and honest, Trejo is a portrait of a remarkable life and an unforgettable journey through tragedy, heartbreak, and ultimately success. Told with cowboy charm, bold revolutionary wisdom, and unflinching honesty, these are stories of outlaws from the farthest reaches of the earth: prison, Hollywood, and life. The book includes an exclusive bonus segment with Donal Logue, in which he shares his favorite stories about his friendship with Danny and writing the book together.
