I remember reading things about Seagal 10 years ago, which maintained that the guy was always lying about what he did and was always trying to make people believe he was some sort of super scary secret agent who just did acting on the side. He would tell you what he really did, but then he would have to kill you, unless you were A&E.
He's a bloated goofball.
An egomaniac who’s lousy acting means he cant find any other work?
A few years ago there were articles describing his attempts to ingratiate himself with the mob & getting himself into a spot - some petty mobsters trying to extort money from him, etc.
A few facts. He was the only “Round Eye” at the time to have his own Akido Dojo in Japan at the time. The mafia tried to extort money from him. He went to the police and the Mafia had a hit out on him for a while. OH he is the real deal alright.
