Danny Trejo to Guest on Young and the Restless!

Thursday, July 31 2008


Danny and Eric (CBS)
In an interesting move, Y&R has hired well-known character actor, Danny Trejo, to play a bartender on the soap beginning August 11th.

**Mini-Spoiler**

Danny's character will interact with Victor Newman in Mexico. After the tragedy of the car wreck, Victor hits the road in a quest for answers, and meets up with the rough and tumble bartender along the way.

Actor Danny Trejo grew up in Los Angeles and his personal story is fairly well known. He was a criminal and drug-addict who wound up in San Quentin prison and turned his life around by taking up a sport (boxing) and entering a 12-step program. Soon, he had a chance meeting with someone in the entertainment business, ended up coaching actor Eric Roberts on how to box, and the rest is history. Danny has done five or more movies per year since 1985!

Trejo has appeared in films with Nic Cage, Johnny Depp, Charles Bronson, Harrison Ford, and Robert DeNiro, just to name a few! His most high-profile movies include, "Anaconda", "Desperado", "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", "Heat", xXx", "From Dusk Til Dawn", "Spy Kids", "Seven Days, Seven Nights", and "Anchorman". He currently has a whopping 13 films in various stages of post-production!

Soaps.com is very pleased that Danny has been able to fit Y&R into his busy schedule. We are very excited to see the scenes with his character and Victor!

Welcome to Y & R Danny! I'm sure Victor's(Eric's)love for boxing, sparring will come in to good use! But I must say, I'm not shocked that Victor is running again.. It's not unusualfor Vic to run away from his family at the time of crisis.

I read long ago that Victor goes back to Germany for a month holiday in the summer usually in August, that is why he goes off the show for awhile.

Mexico So what's up. Is Mexico where the mob is? Can Victor face the mob alone? Why would the mob even be in Mexico? Drugs? Morphine that caused Vickkie being druged? He's quite the guy I'd say if he can stop the mob!
