How does anyone not love this guy?
Listen to some of the characters he has played: Nico Toscani. Mason Storm. Forrest Taft. Jack Cole. Casey Ryback. And of course, my favorite, Detective Gino Felino NYPD.
Here are some interesting facts:
Has been married 3 times.
Is a vegetarian.
Seagal's love of guitar and appreciation of rasta music led him to study with teacher in Jamaica, where he owns a vacation home.
His Santa Inez home includes 200 acres planted with cabernet grapes, which is then sold to wineries.
Master in Japanese Kendo.
Has been a bodyguard.
Broke Sean Connery's wrist when he was teaching him martial arts during the filming of Never Say Never Again (1983).
Is King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden's favourite actor and also his friend.
His first seven films were all starring roles, ending with "Executive Decision" (1996).
Is good friends with Jackie Chan.
Is a singer and guitarist.
In 2005, he released an album titled "Songs from the Crystal Cave".
Owns a very large and impressive collection of Guitars and Samuari Swords.
While his acting in Above the Law (1988) gained praise from the likes of Roger Ebert, Seagal has repeatedly faced criticism from both critics and fans who accuse him of playing the same character in many of his movies, as well as displaying a lack of emotional range. In fact, some people refer to embracing typecasting as "Seagalism."
The February 17, 1989 draft of the screenplay for Hard to Kill (1990) credits Steven Pressfield & Ronald Shusett & Steven Seagal as writers. Pressfield & Shusett are not credited in the final film and Seagal only received an acting credit.
Speaks Japanese fluently
