Danny Trejo - Honoree Speech

Danny Trejo's speech for receiving the Patron Honorary Texan Award at the Texas Film Hall of Fame on March 8, 2012

[@stevenduval6898]

"Everything good that happened to me was because I helped someone else" Trejo is a strong spirit. We have a lot to learn from him.

[@onlythewise1]

called working and no we learned nothing from him we know more than he does

[@victorsanchez5306]

I'm a retired law enforcement officer and never have I met somebody that his life has changed drastically Mr Trujillo is a good man I seen him take kids they were really messed up and give them the opportunity at his taco shop and turn them around I worked for the bus system for LA county sheriff's department and there was one kid that we had a problem with Mr Trujillo gave him a part-time job and the kids started doing good I found out that he's in the Navy now and if anybody ever says that Ms Drake to heal never done nothing for nobody I can attest that he's a good man and he's always put kids first God bless I respect

Danny,Thank you for staying on the wagon of life for over 40 years now. Bill W. rocks !!!

He's actually very well spoken, and a very likable guy.

I would hope so he is a American Citizen! He was born in Echo Park Central LA

[@johnnealhaynes7919]

Trejo should be an example of hope for all those ppl who think there is nothing else after prison.... And his humbleness and gratitude are his biggest qualities...God bless you Danny...

[@jcbulldog533]

Yes,I very much agree..That's what I believe makes him so likable,his honesty

[@NativeSista]

I love you Danny Trejo you are my favorite Latino actor Bravo keep up good job.!!!

[@rainwhitebuffalo5732]

Love that little sideways grin. Sweet smile from a sweet spirit.

[@michaelworsley3341]

To me Danny Trejo shows how huge the spirit of man can be , he has done more good for his fellow man , By showing you can go from the pits of hell (prison) to the top of the world and be humble , helpful , and caring .

[@rollsroyce7385]

michael worsley yes..very well put😊👍👍

[@jcbulldog533]

Yes,very well said

[@Brownsugar441]

I think he is a great actor. He plays the tough character so well. Love him!!

[@LburgVAGuy]

So wonderful to get the opportunity to witness this great speech from a man iv'e grown up watching since I was a kid MI Vida Loca...Against the Wall...Trojan War...HEAT...Reindeer Games...Devils Rejects..and of coarse all the Rodriguez films....the man has done it all! Thank you Mr.Trejo

[@roguewarr4662]

i am so happy for the guy.......just goes to show with a little luck and a few hand ups anyone can become a big star in america .thank you mr trejo for all your action pack movies.and i hope lots more to come.

[@Me-sf2bn]

Everyone who loves him should also watch Danny's documentary. He is and will always be one of my all time favourite people and actors. Danny's example sends a great message. Anyone can decide to change at any time. In the documentary I think it was his uncle (?) was going to help him out when he was released from prison for the last time to get back into the game with money and he decided to change. That must have been very challenging to get out and then have to tell everyone that your out of the game. Much like Carlito's Way but Danny's is a real story and unlike Carlito he managed to stay out the game and flourish with his career. He often said the best things he has done has come out of helping someone else out. That's another key point you got give from the heart out of willingness. I really hope to meet him one day!

[@maxinedavieds8102]

Read his book too. TREJO. He’s a true success story. Bless him. And he has the best laugh.,

[@c0m4g1bb]

I just watched his interview with Howard Stern. Damn..... So intense Bless him and his story

[@warrenman1919]

Proof that prison reform does work. A complete gentleman and one of the hardest working actors out there

[@irishelk3]

What a cool actor. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an actor who looks the part and is more suited to their role than him. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Hopper...he’s up there with them.

2022 this man is 👏 awesome..

[@leonardovinicius460]

A human being like him with the accumulation of experience, as many of them are known to be difficult to forget, has already "crushed" the uselessness that does not correspond directly with the life around us. Essentiality in its most functional form is "sheltered" without slack in a guy like this.

[@ambehak4758]

I wouldn't say Danny is so much of a great actor, as most of his roles are the same - gang member, drug cartel member/leader. However, so much respect for this man turning his life around and showing longevity in his line of work. Danny is a man who i would love to meet at least once in my life and have a conversation with. He's someone i don't want to see age and leave this world.
