Danny Trejo and Charles Bronson


I was remembering a quote someone said about Danny Trejo that he is essentially a "Mexican Charles Bronson" somewhere and found it cool and ironic that the two of them were actually in Death Wish IV The Crackdown. Danny is the guy that says he's seen Kersey before, like in San Francisco or something at the restaurant. I just thought it was cool that the two of them actually worked together before Bronson passed away.

Agreed. Way cool. And your comparison is dead on. The two of them gave off the same vibe (though Bronson was not so consistently a "bad guy").

I think it's pretty funny that Bronson was so frequently cast as a Mexican, wholly or in part. He really looked it when he was doing guest spots on Have Gun-Will Travel and other 50s/60s TV westerns. Charles Buchinsky (Bronson) was Polish/Lithuanian from the coal-mining region of Pennsylvania. He changed his name to Bronson during the McCarthy purge, thinking Buchinsky sounded too Russian.
