In this clip, Danny Trejo speaks on the events that led up to him landing his first movie role as a boxer in the 1985 film “Runaway Train,” which spawned from training actor Eric Roberts for one of the films leading roles alongside Jon Voight, a performance that garnered Roberts a nomination that year for Best Supporting Actor. Trejo notes that he was 41-years-old at that time, as it’s mentioned that his path to Hollywood was far different than your standard actor in the industry. All the same, Trejo was soon offered role after role and was featured in multiple films throughout the next decade, one of which was “Blood In Blood Out” that was partially filmed inside of San Quentin.
