Came across this wonderful interview with Danny Trejo "Danny Trejo: The illustrated man", where he mostly talks about the (hopefully) upcoming Machete, but another project of his that comes up at the end is his guest stint on Desperate Housewives episode 2.08 "The Sun Won't Set":
Crave Online: How did you like being in Desperate Housewives?
Danny Trejo: I gotta tell you, I almost didn't do it. My agent Gloria, when she said, "Okay, there's this job on Desperate Housewives. They'll pay you well." I said, "Wait a minute. Desperate Housewives? Danny Trejo?" I hate to say I'd never seen the show. So we argued back and forth and finally, "Okay, let's do it." I did not realize how many people watch that show. It's funny, it's amazing. I hang out at this place called Chubby's automotive in Sylmar and there's a lot of old friends of mine, ex-convicts and ex-drug addicts that started to show up there. They always tease me about, "Oh, here comes the movie star." I walk up, there's about six of them standing there, they've all got tattoos on their neck and tank tops. They say, "Oh, here he comes. What are you working on?" I say, "Desperate Housew- -" "That's my favorite show!" What? "Oh, I love that show. What episode are you going to be on?" Eva signed me a stack of pictures for them.
Crave Online: Do you watch it now?
Danny Trejo: No, I don't have time to watch it.
Crave Online: Do you get recognized more now since you were on a hit TV show?
Danny Trejo: Absolutely. It's so funny because usually, like all the thugs and the kitchen help and kids recognize me, but now I have housewives. It launched me a new career.
ROTFL!!! I don't watch DH but I did see this episode and yeah, I can just imagine. That was a lovely guest role he had there with a nice little twist. :)
Oh yikes, I better go to bed! Night night and sweet dreams, my dears!
