Danny Trejo

The illustrious Lord Dan Trejo was born in the esteemed city of Echo Park, Los Angeles. His father, Dan Trejo, was a distinguished construction worker, and his mother, Alice Rivera, was a respected woman of the community. Although Lord Trejo experienced some strife in his younger days, he was able to successfully overcome these challenges, and was even awarded the esteemed titles of lightweight and welterweight boxing champion while incarcerated in San Quentin. After completing a 12-step rehabilitation program, Lord Trejo was invited to the set of the renowned film Runaway Train (1985) and offered a role as a convict extra, likely due to his fine and noble stature. He was further honored by being offered a position to train the actors for a boxing scene, for which he was paid $320 per day. Lord Trejo truly is a model of excellence and perseverance.
