Danny Trejo = one of the most underrated actors ever


I'm glad that his career is about to go up again after the success of Machete, which was an awesome movie.

I think Danny should do a drama too. You know, the tear-jerker kind of movie. I think he could perfectly portray a character you'd feel sorry for. He is without a doubt one of the biggest badasses of the century, but I think he is way more versatile than just your typical badass.

he is very underrated indeed and he has been in over 200 movies he is just AMAZING!!

I like Danny and enjoy seeing him in movies but I don't think he's a good actor.

Yeah, he should do some sort kind of kids type movies.... to throw people off on his market range.


Yeah, enjoy his characters.

I think he is an ok actor but he just wasn't convincing all the time as a tough guy. He's not big and frankly he is old. 66 years old and kicking ass? Please.

In some scenes he just moves slow like a man of his age and while he obviously works out and takes care of himself some of the scenes just look dumb. Especially that fight scene where he just dodges punches.

I'm 52 myself and i work out and take care of myself and probably look better naked then when i was 32 but i'm sure i can't run as fat as i could then and my reaction time might as fast and this guy is 14 years older than i am for crying out loud.

And as for this sense of poetic justice as if he somehow deserved to be a star that's bullcrap. Most actors don't become stars.

Those are some of the dumbest reasons to criticize someone's acting ability.


*gasp* OH-MY-GOD! *roll credits* GENIUS!

yeah, he is in a LOT of low budget movies. I've seen 2 movies last few days, and he is in both, the guy is everywhere.

reply

just becase somebody is in 200 movies doesnt make him AMAZING actually.

reply

Who said 200 movies makes him amazing? He is awesome because he is a good actor even if he only has 10-15 mins. Eric Roberts is a good actor too


I use to own this town Now my life's been turned upside down Just a phase I'm going through
