Regarding his continued growth as a professional actor, Trejo has stated that he still cannot believe how fortunate he has been. “I’m so blessed. I’m still scared that somebody’s going to wake me up and say, ‘Hey, we’re still in prison. Let’s go to chow'”.
Many of Trejo’s characters in Robert Rodriguez movies have been named after knives or sharp instruments: Machete in Spy Kids, Razor Eddie in the From Dusk till Dawn series, Navajas (Spanish for blades) in Desperado, and Cuchillo (Spanish for knife) in Predators. He also plays Machete in a trailer made for Rodriguez’s film collaboration with Quentin Tarantino, Grindhouse. In 2010, he starred in a full theatrical version of Machete, based on the character.
Most recently, Trejo has begun work on the highly anticipated sequel to Machete, titled Machete Kills. Robert Rodriguez returns to the director’s chair for a story that sees Machete being hired by the U.S. government to infiltrate Mexico and stop an arms dealer looking to launch a dangerous weapon into space. The film is so far said to co-star Tom Savini and Tony Jaa.
