Guns of Boom's Trejo Tournament.

Scowling actor Danny Trejo partners with Guns of Boom

Danny Trejo is famous for playing a scowling tough guy, and he’s partnering with Game Insight today as the face man for Guns of Boom. The partnership is a rarity for a mobile game, but Guns of Boom seems like a good match for Trejo’s action hero character.

The famous villain from films like Desperado, Con Air, and Heat will become an action character and voice actor in the team-based mobile shooter. He’ll be available in a new update for the game, which has seen over 35 million downloads on iOS and Android.
