Keck's Exclusives: What Big Screen Villain is Playing a Janitor on Modern Family?

Danny Trejo

An upcoming episode of ABC's Modern Family will find Claire (Julie Bowen) taking on the feared janitor at Luke and Manny's school. And who better to evoke dread than feature film character actor Danny Trejo, who has killed countless onscreen? Danny, a reformed drug addict who was in and out of the slammer for 11 years, most recently terrorized moviegoers as the title character of the Robert Rodriguez-directed movie, Machete.

The Modern Family episode finds Claire in charge of an upcoming school dance at the boys' school. While all the other moms are afraid of Danny's menacing janitor, fearless Claire forms an unlikely bond with the guy. And then he chops her up with a machete. Joking!
