[post_page_title]Getting a minor role[/post_page_title]
That’s when Andrei Konchalovsky, the director of the same film, noticed Danny’s talent as a boxer. He respected how well he worked with Eric, and decided to offer Danny an even bigger acting role in the film.
Instead of an extra, Danny was now offered to play the minor role of a boxer in the film. This was the major turning point for Danny Trejo’s career as an actor. After Runaway Train, the movie roles just kept coming in.
