[[Action Hero|Actor]], producer, writer, musician, activist, [[Badass|7th-dan black belt in aikido]], [[Reality TV|reserve deputy sheriff]], father of seven, [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] and guardian (legally and literally) of the only child of the 10th Panchen Lama of Tibet. According to [[That Other Wiki]] he was also the first foreigner to operate an aikido dojo in Japan.
 
For the last few decades the pony-tailed star has made his way across dozens of movies since his late [[The Eighties|eighties]] introduction in ''[[Above the Law (Filmfilm)|Above the Law]]''. His films largely consist of him taking on dozens of mooks singlehandedly and eventually killing the the [[Big Bad]] in brutal fashion. ''[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Several times over]]''.
 
After the success of his first movie Seagal went on to make box office hits ''[[Hard to Kill]]'', ''[[Marked for Death]]'' and ''[[Out for Justice]]''. Securing his place as a top action star during the late 80's and early 90's. The apex of his success came with his most well known movie ''[[Under Siege]]''. Unfortunately this proved to be the beginning of the end of his big box office success. The 1994 film ''On Deadly Ground'' was a pet project of the actor, with a large budget and even an all-star cast. Co-produced, directed and starring Steven Seagal, the movie was an [[Anvilicious]] environmental crusade against evil oil companies. Unfortunately it was slammed for its [[Broken Aesop|broken morals]] and the seemingly endless rants his "[[Author Avatar|character]]" went on.
