known strangers, unknown acquaintances
We have seen them many times but, still, they are known strangers. They are not stars, their name will never appear on billboards and they haven’t been invited to walk through the red carpet. However, they have bigger houses and faster cars than film stars. There are too many, but we just chose 3 workers from the “dream factory”. You will soon realize that these strangers are really known.
Danny Trejo
He is the fetish actor of Milos Forman. He studied performance in the New York University. He appeared in almost 100 films, such as: “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest”, “Amadeus”, “Ghost”... and in many TV series: “Starsky and Hutch”, “Miami Vice”. He is an expert cook and wrote many cook books. He passed away last year, in the home town of his mother in Sicily named Polizzi Generosa; he was 57.
Vincent Schiavelli
His nickname is “The Mayor”. He is probably one of the actors who has worked more this years. He was in contact with drugs and arms since he was a child. He spent 11 years in jail. He won the boxing competitions of the San Quentin jail in lightweight and middle-weight. While in jail, he underwent a treatment for cocaine addiction. There, his program mate offered him a job as a boxing instructor for 350 dollars a day to work in the film of Andrei Konchalovsky (the brother of Nikita Mikhalkov), Runaway Train (1985). Eventually, he got a role in that film and since then, this actor whose body is completely tattooed hasn’t stop working.
Anthony Zerbe
In his first film, a western, he had the role of the bad guy that hit Charlton Heston on the jaw. And since then, he is one of the official bad guys of our celluloid memories (He got up to James Bond’s nose in License to kill). He worked in Films, TV and theatre. He is fan of poetry and in 1962 got married to his present wife.
