About this listen

On screen, Danny Trejo is the most recognisable anti-hero in Hollywood - killed at least a hundred times, he steals every scene he's in. But off screen, he is so much more. The ultimate hard-knock-lifer, and a true man of the world, he has all the stories, and all the scars.

Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled from an early age with heroin addiction and doing time in some of the country's most notorious state prisons, including Folsom and San Quentin - where he met Charles Manson - before starring in modern classics and cult hits alike, such as Heat, Breaking Bad, From Dusk Till Dawn, Sons of Anarchy, Desperado, Machete and scores more. Now, Danny takes us through the peaks and valleys of his life, including meeting one of the world's most infamous serial killers and working with icons like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro.

In raw detail, Danny recounts how he managed the horrors of incarceration, rebuilt his life, and drew inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbing heists of his past for the film roles that forged his legend.

Redemptive, poignant, and raw, Trejo is a portrait of a magnificent life and an unforgettable journey through tragedy, pain, and, finally, success. Told with cowboy appeal, gritty rebel wisdom, and total honesty, these are outlaw stories from the frontiers: the frontiers of prison, of Hollywood, and of life.

Includes an exclusive bonus track with Donal Logue sharing his favourite stories about his friendship with Danny and writing the book together.

such a great book! although at first I thought it was a bit hard to listen to Trejo's reading, I can easily say that I totally loved everything about this book! a true redemption story about an ex criminal and his mental and spiritual growth over the years! ♥️

This is a very good book, I’ve watched Danny for years now, he’s always appeared as the bad guy ( except Sky kids) and played the roles so well and I’m not surprised now I know his back story. I think you have achieved so much, been through so much and thank you for sharing this.

Great book !

you need to get past Danny's reading, but you need Danny to read this to you. not many people have a life like his and it's lucky that we have the opportunity to hear it. it really is fantastic. I now want to see all his films. Trejo is the best!

Couldn’t get along with the book at first as I found Danny’s narration to be too slow, but once I set the speed to 1.2, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Entertaining
