Why does he not have a bigger career?

He has appeared in a lot of theatrical films in the 90s,lately it just seems like he only has the Machete series occasional tv and theatrical film appearances,the last few films i have seen Danny in have been straight to dvd films and in most of them he is only onscreen for like 20 mins or less. Does he like working for quick cash? It would be cool if he had a career like Stallone or Schwarzenegger

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

He probably does like working for quick cash -- who wouldn't? I think Danny's career is as big as he wants it to be, though I would love to see him stretch and do some quality work (the writing, not his acting). As for Stallone and Schwarzenegger, I'd rather watch Danny do 20 minutes in any film than either of them in a lead role. In "Beatdown" I don't think he had more than 20 minutes on screen, but it was one of his best acting roles yet.
