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.

It's true. He's more a well-known character actor, meaning he fits only a persona he only knew as a kid and instead of doing that stuff, he earned popularity by getting paid to act like he did when he was troubled for roles that require it. He'll never win an Oscar or Academy Award award because of this, but at least he'll be able to use the only life he knew for something more constructive as an entertainer, just like Eddie Bunker, the criminal-turned-writer.
