It wasn’t his first time behind bars. He spent most of his late teens and early 20s in and out of jail. The son of Mexican immigrants, Trejo grew up in Los Angeles and was only 8 years old when he first smoked weed with an uncle. By 12, he was drinking. Two years later, he started shooting heroin. He was quickly hooked and began dealing the drug.
Trejo immersed himself in the recovery community while working odd jobs, eventually becoming a drug counselor. “All of a sudden everybody started calling me ‘Mr. Trejo,’” he remembers with a smile. “I got my hair done; I got to wear makeup.” In addition to acting, Trejo has become an entrepreneur with the launch of a string of Los Angeles-area restaurants: Trejo’s Tacos in 2016, followed by Trejo’s Cantina and Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts.
