Alejandro Edmundo Trejo Zapata is a renowned Chilean actor, born on August 8, 1959. He is a multifaceted performer, excelling in various mediums, including theater, television, and voice acting.
Trejo's journey into the entertainment industry was almost accidental, as theater was not his initial choice. He joined the Moneda Theater School in 1979, directed by Pury Durante, and later co-founded the street theater company El Clavo with Juan Edmundo González in 1986.
Throughout his career, Trejo has participated in numerous stage productions, such as Lautaro by Isidora Aguirre, Historia de un galpón abandonado by Ramón Griffero, Tríptico, and El Señor Presidente, all with El Clavo.

Trejo has been part of the cast of various productions with Bufón Negro, including El coordinador, El solitario, Un dulce aire canalla, and El amor intelectual, all written by Benjamín Galemiri. One of his greatest theatrical successes was Nadie es profeta en su espejo by Jorge Díaz, under the direction of Alejandro Goic, as well as La Condición Humana. He has also starred in Macbeth, directed by Englishman Ian Wooldrich, alongside actor Rodrigo González Rubio.
As a director, Trejo has made a name for himself with productions such as La comarca del jazmín by Óscar Castro, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, El libro de Rebeca by Benjamin Galemiri, Loco afán by Pedro Lemebel, and El desvarío by Jorge Díaz, among others.
In films, Trejo's notable performances include A Cab for Three, The Sentimental Teaser, Subterra, Machuca, Gente decente, and Los Debutantes. He has also had a successful career as a voice actor, lending his voice to various commercials, series, and television documentaries for over 20 years.
