Mysteries Unearthed With Danny Trejo

SERIES PREMIERE Friday, Dec. 6, 10/9c, History

- Kate Hahn

DANNY TREJO IS notorious for playing badass characters, such as a vampire in the 1996 film From Dusk Till Dawn. "This is full circle," says the 80-yearold Sons of Anarchy actor, with his signature raspy laugh, about hosting a TV show on uncovering buried mysteries. Each intriguing hour of this eight-part series has a theme, like "chamber of secrets," which digs up everything from forgotten tombs (you'll see the inspiration for a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark!) to an ancient city's priceless treasure trove.

Trejo gives us more dirt.
