Is it just me or he has a bad spanish accent?


Im southamerican, and whenever i hear him talking spanish, it just seems to me it's very forced and unnatural. What do you think? Does english-speaker people notice this?

Danny was born and raised in Los Angeles. What you're hearing is probably classic "Chicano" as spoken by native Mexican-Americans in southern California. I'm always happy to hear him speak without the strong "Mexican" accent most of his roles call for. For example, that's Danny doing the voiceover on the commercials for Old El Paso tacos, etc., and he's doing it in his natural L.A. accent.
