Hes probably a big *beep* cat in real life- a real gentleman. Should've asked him- what do you think he'll do, break your arm?

Heard he is a bit of a *beep*. Turned up at Brandon Lee's funeral and was claiming to be a family friend to media. They later refuted it.

he had these two guys at his side, who were compeletely guarded when I was within a couple feet of him. There was no one else on the floor other than staff and my boyfriend (who was so excited he had to run and hide). The guys, who were pretty big, got all toughie and stood at his sides when they saw me.. Steven Segal.. a guy who looks like he's seven feet tall, and has his own dojo, needing bodygards to protect him from a 5'3" petite woman.. then again.. I hear he has six children all with different women, perhaps they think more in terms of law suit?... he did afterall, flash a smile at my Shocked

face

haha Wink

Did you ask him if he feels that wearing ridiculous tribal patterned blazers and Navaho prayer beads somehow puts him in touch with Native American culture? Smile

What a no-talent as$clown.

Ask his Japanese wife if she thinks he's a great guy.

Before he was famous, he basically "sold" his wife's father's dojo even though it wasn't his to sell. Then he told her he would be in SoCAl for a bit, but never mentioned he married another woman at the same time without telling her. Sad

ntropy, what happened?!

I quite agree, Segal is no hero. He's an ok guy to his friends - he taught his martial art, whatever it's called these days, to one of my former students. My student said he treated him in an avuncular way.

But yeah, I think the way he presents himself in the media, I'd agree with Canuck2112 - strictly bozo.

His films aren't too great, either...

Canuck2112,

Your post and pics nearly caused me a hernia! Classic. His martial arts evidently keep him in tip-top shape - the triple chin conveyed that much to me.

PS Did slater audition for 'FAME'?!!

Well, I'll just speak from my experience one night at a bar in Vancouver. It was my friend's birthday and were having a great time at the Commodore Ballroom when another friend comes up to me bawling her eyes out.
" Julie just got kicked out of the bar because some guy groped her and she smacked him across the face! They didn't even kick the guy out and he grabbed her ass!"
To make a long story short, the reason she was thrown out was that she wasn't a celebrity who starred in such cinematic gems as Fire Down Below and Hard to Kill. However, the dude who grabbed her ass, was such a celebrity. Interestingly enough, Mr. 6th dan Aikido Blackbelt Navaho wannabe couldn't block the drunken slap of a 5'3, 100 lb girl.
Oh and incidentally, I don't particularly like the guy.
Cheers,
Chix.

P.S Vash keep up the good work, I'd just about given up on this board until I read your V3K post.

I think in the name of decency each of us here should vow to 'start' on Seagull if we ever see him in the streets. I'll strangle him with one of the rats tails he has hanging from his jacket!

Don't you just love the way the guy runs? His arms flap likes he's gonna take flight. Laughing

Gordon, what I don't love is the way he tries to dive-bomb me in public when I'm trying to eat a packet of chips or a pie! I feel like I'm Under Seige ... oh no, I just reminded myself of that god-awful film! HE MUST GO. HE MUST GO. HE MUST GO
