He is a prolific actor, appearing in many movies and television shows albeit mostly as the “bad guy”.
He was in movies that included big names such as Al Pacino, Nicolas Cage, Robert de Niro, Harrison Ford among others.
Amongst his movie credits are “Dusk Till Dawn”, Machete and “Desperado” where he appeared with Antonio Banderas and Selma Hayek.
He is noted for his distinctive appearance. In addition to his heavily lined face and a mustache, he has a large tattoo of a woman in his chest wearing a sombrero.
Trejo presented Pacquiao a copy of his famous photo from “Desperado” where he shows of his many knives under his long jacket.
