The last movie I watched with him in it, was terrible. He was supose to be a Russian mobster and couldn't pull it off.

In the early 90s he wanted to be pretend he was Italian but now it's Russian.

Every segal film I've seen has been absolute shit, he ugly and can't understand him, id sooner spend 90 minutes reading through shizzos post history than watch one of segals films

from what i know he was a skinny guy and now he's a big guy so he has been able to put on a lot of mass (mostly muscle, a little fat which is unavoidable)
probably big on weight gainers.

I think he's the type that would try to be Japanese in a movie.

One of the most difficult "actors" to work with plus huge weight gain = straight to dvd

Not a morning passes that I don't ask myself "What's going on with Steven Seagal?"

Fortunately, I have Getbig, which gives me a daily status thread.

Seagal, Lungren, and Van Damme make a ton of money doing "direct to DVD" movies, selling and viewing them in countries other than the United States to which they make a shitload of money because their movie that would be considered "shitty" in the United States would be considered a masterpiece in a country like India or Malaysia where the quality of the movies are much worse along with being treated like gods in that country allowing them to get away with all sorts of stuff making production less expensive than what's written on the books.

In addition, they have off-shore accounts to deposit their cash so they can avoid taxes and licensing fees. They are worth a lot more than they appear. Seagal is not as dumb as he looks.

His Aikido is short and Hard Sabaki. Although traditionel AikiKai.. it´s not. I would go as far as to say he formed his own Way of Aikido. this was the Founders wishes.

This... Doing "direct-to-DVD" and usual stuff like visiting Putin... His firsts action/MA flicks were very good in my opinion, he wasn't as bad as people say, his acting was functional for his type of mysterious/badass character, and Seagal was exactly like that in real life too, lol...

who slagging him off has a Dan Grade in Aikido, even a 1st Dan ? Tell me about his Aikido which made him famous. Explain why his Aikido is bad. His Films, the first few were good and later i even have to admit not so. Was Arnold not the same ? They were Both top in their game before acting.
