Danny Trejo Talks Tacos, Hollywood, and Redemption
Actor, author, and restaurateur Danny Trejo will discuss how he developed a prolific career in the entertainment industry with a hard-earned and atypical road to success. From years of imprisonment to helping troubled youth battle drug addictions, from acting to producing, and now on to restaurant ventures, Trejo’s name, face, and achievements are well recognized in Hollywood and beyond, but it is his continuous role as a devoted father of three and an intervention counselor that bring him the most satisfaction.
The event will be held virtually on Tuesday, April 4 at 7 pm.
This virtual event on Zoom is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
