Actor Danny Trejo often plays the tough guy in the movies. But in his car, he keeps dog food to feed strays and clean underwear and socks to share with those living on the streets. The native Angelino talks with The Revolución cohosts Linda Lane Gonzalez, Diego Lastra, and Court Stroud about his rough upbringing and incarceration, the ways sobriety changed him, and how he switched from working as a drug counselor to a successful working actor. His new memoir, TREJO: MY LIFE OF CRIME, REDEMPTION AND HOLLYWOOD comes out this week.
This is an encore episode which originally aired in July 2021.
