    Editor’s note: about 2:34 in is where Danny talks about THE EXPENDABLES and MACHETE. We apologize for the audio. There’s no escaping crowd noise at a film festival!

    Although extremely intimidating in each of his many acting roles, Danny Trejo is, in fact, extremely kind, humble, and hilarious. If you have not read his bac kstory, I encourage you to read it. The man is a phoenix.

    Mr. Trejo was cool enough to sit down to talk with me for a few minutes at this past year’s CineVegas film festival, where he gave GATW some exclusives on MACHETE and his non-existent involvement in Sylvester Stallone’s THE EXPENDABLES. Danny also gave us the scoop on his role in the new indie 70s action throwback MODUS OPERANDI.

    Check out the interview to find out all this and more, like why Danny will never play a kindergarten teacher and his conundrum over who he would rather kiss… BUBBLE BOY co-star Jake Gyllenhaal or CHERI BABY co-star (and Jakey G’s sis), Maggie.
