Few celebrities are more delighting to see attached to a project than Danny Trejo, a man whose career has spanned four decades of action movies, Robert Rodriguez flics, and even video games. While he’s mostly known for appearing in shooters and other games similar to the kinds of guns blazing movies he stars in, he’s grinding through new terrain as a cameo in the upcoming indie skateboarding game OlliOlli World. A different meaning to “Grindhouse,” clearly.
From February 8th you can find me in @OlliOlligame! I’m one of these quirky characters in this new skateboarding action platformer coming for PC and your favorite console. I'll see you at the terrific side-quest I'm hosting!#ad #olliolliworld pic.twitter.com/inRzyyfIWf

While it’s unlikely that Machete is going to be brutalizing people in gory fashion in this cutesy little skate game, it’s still very cool to see such a beloved and big ticket actor in a relatively unassuming little game. OlliOlli World releases next week on February 8th for Nintendo Switch and other consoles.
