Somewhere between a middle aged man and a corpse is: Danny Trejo

what movies does he have a major part in? i love seeing him in stuff, but it tends to be an awesome character that gets cut brutally short (brutal referring to the horrible shortness of his roles or perhaps the often grotesque way i've seen him depart)

He was the rapist in the movie "Con Air"

Have you seen the Machete movies?

i don't think so, and while i hadn't seen Con Air, i'd seen quite a few clips and segments from it. apparently every shot he wasn't in haha

I think he was also in From Dusk Till Dawn (in the vampire bar). And I've seen him in a couple of zombie movies.

yeah, we see him in a few things. bf an i are like "hey! it's That Guy! sweet!" and then look around the scene to try and work out how he'll be killed off -.- we get all sorts of entertainment from tv, not just the show/movie's plot lol

He's only ever one character is why you don't see him in lead roles as much. Not a lot of writers making stereotypical badass Latino screenplays lately. Well, ever.

He needs to try and be more versatile and branch out form his norm. I'd like to see him play a classic movie monster role like Frankenstein or the Wolfman, but those have both been done recently.

And he's not going to be the first person that comes to mind for those roles. But if he could get something that makes him completely different, like Ledger's Joker, that would help. :{

still better than Hugh Grant lol

Not that I like Grant, but it's the same thing. They both only have one character. They need to diversify. lol :{
