Gallardo's first taste of fame came with the feature film El Mariachi, a critically-acclaimed film renowned for costing US$7,000 to make. The film won the 1993 Sundance Film Festival, and won Gallardo an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature, an accolade he shared with Rodriguez. He also was credited as unit production manager and for special effects in El Mariachi. Following El Mariachi, Gallardo went on to be co-producer of the Robert Rodriguez-directed Mexico Trilogy sequels, Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Both films featured Antonio Banderas in the role of El Mariachi, in place of Gallardo, though Gallardo did have a cameo role in Desperado, playing El Mariachi's buddy Campa. In 2007 he played Deputy Carlos in Planet Terror, Robert Rodriguez's portion of Grindhouse, appearing opposite Michael Biehn and Tom Savini. It was his first appearance in a Rodriguez film since Desperado. In the spirit of "Mariachi-style" shooting, which was a huge inspiration to the Twisted Twins when they first envisioned making "Dead Hooker in a Trunk", we managed to get into contact with Carlos, who was more than happy to help out filmmakers that were inspired by his and Rodriguez's work. While working with Carlos in LA for his cameo, we also interviewed him about independent filmmaking, his personal film projects, and his thoughts on "Dead Hooker in a Trunk".
