He told me that Danny Trejo is super respected among "La Eme"....because they know that, while he's an actor who's "all Hollywood," Danny will NEVER disrespect La Eme--and sticks up for them in Hollywood. Plus--and this is a big plus--he still lives modestly and still hangs out w/his "plebe."

My best friend was in that movie as an extra. He said some dude came up to them at about 2am in a denny's (in Sacramento CA) and said "hey how would you guys like to be in a movie?". My friend said he thought it was a porno, because dude was mad creeperish. He was in the prison riot scene. Had to cut his pony tail off to be in it. Got paid like a few hundred dollars. Early 90's like 91 I think. Just thought that was a cool life story.

[@Chris-js6oz]

I'm from Sacto and we were always at a Denny's late at night or early morning after partying in those early 90's years. Dammit! Why couldn't I have been there at that time? lol

[@Zodroo_Tint]

Was it because 7/8 of the extras didn't show up in the third day? I red they kept them near an open sewer and they had no enough water, they had to ask permission to go to the toilet and the guards didn't listened to them because they were in a prison uniform. :)

If there was a level above "Triple OG" Danny would be it. I guess you could say he is an "OG's OG".

I met Danny at an event in Alhambra, CA. As we walked past each other, all of sudden he looks at me, sticks his hand out and introduces himself to me. What a cool, down to earth guy.

I'm sure he did heroin and sold some like he has claimed in past interviews, but the odds that he was anyone important are basically zero. He wouldn't be cast in shows and movies if he was ACTUALLY hot - the man just knows how to sell his gimmick. "I used to be a REAL gangster you know!". No, you're an actor who is good at fooling people. Gangsters don't go on screen talking about all the dirt they did. 100% fake hollywood "gangster" right here.

@@alexanderm3504 LOTS of people who were absolute nobodies were in San Quentin... You do know that right? 99% of people in prison are not heavy hitters, odds are Trejo was just another junk fiend mule who just did what he was told. It's beneficial for him to exaggerate his story to seem like more of a badass because it lands him gigs in TV commercials, movies, etc. It's called a gimmick, and you are buying right into it.
