Iconic actor Danny Trejo is well-known for playing gritty, hardboiled characters like Machete, the knife-wielding warrior, or vampire Razor Charlie in From Dusk Till Dawn. He also stars in the excellent Nicolas Cage vehicle Con Air, where he plays an unredeemable criminal. His latest role is a bit more wholesome: he’ll be appearing in skateboarding simulator OlliOlli World as a guest skater.
Trejo will host one of the game’s big side quests, and players will be able to meet and interact with his avatar as they roll through their skating adventures. He’s represented by a little guy with a handlebar moustache, tank top and cross necklace, and can only be found by running through the game’s many colourful courses.
Finding him and completing his quest will unlock a special, currently unspecified cosmetic item that pays homage to the actor.
