FINALLY! The role Danny Trejo has been waiting for!

Danny Trejo: LA child thug. Lightweight Boxer Champion. BADASS extraordinaire.

He's been a vampire, an assassin, a bank robber and a biker with a soft-spot for a boy in a bubble (click the roles for a link to the movie page).

Lately he's been rocking roles with Robert Rodriguez, boosting his career and his awesomeness. Point in case, his new film Machete, he's a PISSED off vigilante that, as you'll see in the clip, enlists the help of a gun-toting Cheech Marin--who is a FACKIN PRIEST!! Yes!

The plot seems the same old Rodriguez scene. Some bad people kill a good-ish persons family, and then that good-ish guy gets pissed and becomes an EFFin' BA guy and goes crazy on the bad guys at all costs because he has nothing to lose. Literally, he's lost his family, exchanged his family heirlooms for weapons, and scraped off a tattoo to become less recognizable. But here is the question I pose to you: who the EFF cares?! It's Danny Trejo getting the lead role for something he's only been playing background characters for so long and been playing them well.

I don't know about you but there's one thing that's holding me from seeing the film right now: it doesn't come out until September.

Danny Trejo is 5'7" and his nickname is "The Mayor".

'Nuff Said.
