Actor Danny Trejo: From San Quentin to a Life Helping Others
Actor and entrepreneur Danny Trejo greets his CSUN audience in the USU during this year’s sold-out Big Lecture on Nov. 16, Photo by David J. Hawkins.
When Danny Trejo was released from prison in after stints for crimes including armed robbery and drug dealing, and before he became one of today&#;s most recognizable actors, he returned to the neighborhood he grew up in and stole from.
One day, he noticed an older woman taking out her trash, and she seemed to be struggling. Trejo walked over to help her but she watched intently with fear before yelling at him in Spanish. She knew who he was and what he did. After helping her, he felt a sense of pride.
Once he experienced this selfless act, he wanted to continue helping people. He credits these actions to his professional success.
&#;Everything good that has happened to me has been a direct result of helping someone else,&#; Trejo said.
