Sorry to spam your flist, but my roommate just sent me a link to this Brisk Commercial featuring none other than Machete himself (Danny Trejo) as a claymation figure! It's hilarious - basically the plot of Machete in one minute, so spoilers, obviously (though not much that hasn't been in the various trailers):

Machete Is A Go For Rodriguez
And he'll re-do Predator as well

You may remember this stonkingly good trailer from the Grindhouse experience. Well, ( Read more... )

I was sitting next to my captor, tied up and miserable, when two other mobsters joined us, one of them "played" by Danny Trejo, looking vaguely ( Read more... )

That's too funny. I had a parcel in the mail today which confused me.

But the sticker said it was from Amazon. Usually they use cardboard boxes, so huh. I look inside, and it's ( Read more... )

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":

I'd just have to tackle-hug him! Why? Well, read the following excerpt from the blog Tanya Huff has on the Lifetime TV website (she's the author of the "Blood" books on which Blood Ties is based). This is about last week's episode, "Wrapped":

And then Peter told me they'd got Danny Trejo to play ( role cut for those totally spoiler-phobic )
