Today in badass casting news, badass Mexican Danny Trejo will have a role in the fourth season of badass television show “Sons of Anarchy.” It marks the most badass casting decision in TV since Henry Rollins was cast as a violent neo-Nazi in the same show two years ago. Here’s the official word from the putas at TV Line:
Trejo will play Romero “Romeo” Parada, a charismatic and (duh) dangerous former commando for the Mexican military who becomes a new associate of the SONS.
Trejo popped up on the small screen just this past TV season, guesting on Fox’s Bones and ABC’s Modern Family (as a janitor with a crush on Claire).
People who watch badass shows will also remember Trejo as badass Tortuga on “Breaking Bad.” Things didn’t go so well for Tortuga:
That’s no way to get ahead in life! Because turtles are slow, you know? Put that decapitated head on a cheetah.

As one of the five people who actually saw Machete, all I can say is: fuck and yes.
Danny Trejo is awesome for a guy who is 5’7″. That’s Tom Cruise height. Motherfucker could reach up and stab my dick so I don’t take my eyes off him.
YAY!! I’m always happy to see him getting work. He’s been in some of my most favorite terrible movies – From Dusk Till Dawn, Con Air & xXx. Not to mention the awesome ridiculousness that was Machete.
(IMDB tells me he’s got 17 projects in pre/post-production of filming. I wonder if there are any projects he says no to.)
This makes too much sense to not have happened already.
Danny Trejo is my favorite pock-faced Chicano actor since Edward James Olmos.
Love this news, hate the decades long hiatus of Sons.
I have a murder erection right now. A big one.
I’d like this better if he was on the side of the Mayans but I’m not complaining a bit no sir please Mr Trejo don’t hurt me.
Danny Trejo is the coolest. As for saying no to any project, i teach high school filmmaking and he’s in one of my students final projects!! He rocks and is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, if you’re so lucky.
The man behind the cystic acne scars.
Dannys image does fit better as a mayan but I’m sure the writers know what they are doing I hope.Emilio & Danny are two Firme vatos (nice guys).
