Early life
Trujillo was born on March 28, 1951 in a show business family as his grandfather was film producer Valentín
Gazcón and his uncle was actor Gilberto Gazcón. He made his film debut as a baby.

Trujillo initially studied law at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). He never completed his
studies, choosing instead to become an actor.

Career

Early career

Trujillo made his acting debut at the age of seven in the film El Gran Pillo (1958). As a teen he got into the
Columbia Pictures release Rage (1966) alongside Glenn Ford and Stella Stevens.

Stardom

Beginning in the early 1970s, Trujillo was cast often as the male lead. The film Las figuras de arena (1970)
directed by Roberto Gavaldón established him as a leading man. He worked steadily as the leading man in
action films over the next decade, completing over 30 films between 1970 and 1979.

In addition to action films, Trujillo expanded his range in a number of films that incorporated commentary
about modern social issues and politics in Mexico. The film Perro Callejero (1980) won a Silver Goddess for
Best Picture and Trujillo, who portrayed the lead drunken character, was awarded Best Actor by Premios
ACE.
Later career & death

Beginning in the 1980s, Trujillo stepped behind the camera as well and began writing and directing his films.
He released several popular action films and was soon the top box office draw in Mexico.

Trujillo was nominated for several Ariel Awards in the 1980s, including Best Supporting Actor for El Ansia de
Matar (1987) and Best Story and Screenplay for Violación (1989). The latter also was the first film to co-star
his son, Valentin Trujillo Jr. Together they co-starred in close to 20 films together before Trujillo's untimely
death.

Trujillo died on May 4, 2006 in his sleep from a heart attack. He was 55 at the time of his death.
