"Hollywood action man Steven Seagal is to take part in a new reality series which will chronicle his little-known role as a police officer in Louisiana.
The Under Siege star has been a fully commissioned deputy at the state’s Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office for the last 20 years.
As well as going out on patrol, Seagal is said to be an expert marksman, working with the force’s Swat team, and has instructed officers in firearms and hand-to-hand combat.
The new show, which has been commissioned by America’s A+E network, will be titled Steven Seagal: Lawman and will follow the actor as he fights crime in Louisiana."
Years ago I worked on an award show where Steven was a presenter. He was difficult, rude, poorly hitting on anything female and wearing a yellow kimono with jeans - otherwise known as complete awesomeness (just like this picture):
Many years later I worked on a show that involved professional stunt people. After getting to know a few I asked who's the biggest "action star" asshole they've ever had to work with? They all said Seagal and they all had the same complaint - he never pulls his punches. This lead them to tell me the great story of Gene LeBell vs Seagal.
Gene is an old school stuntman and Judo expert. Long story short, Seagal said that LeBell couldn't choke him out. A few minutes later Seagal was passed out on the floor and his pants were wet.
And here's the man that did it:
Fantastic.
So If I were the producers of the new Steven Seagal reality show, I would have these two meet up for coffee. Or maybe a nice glass of this:

If I was Seagal I'd avoid anyone with "Le" in their name since LeBrock also dropped him in a different way.
I would also never mess with someone that has a song written about them. Check out LeBell choking people out while a song written about him is playing in the background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIeYcnTbiuI
A friend of mine from Staten Island has started a new campaign to convince the MTA to name a new SI Ferry after their most choked-out celebrity homeboy.
Go see.

If you know any thing about the M. Arts the you should also know that Judo Gene LeBell also beat Bruce Lee in a match. So... If a dude is good enough to take down a master like B. L. then you got real talent on hand.
I think all these guys are top of the heap. So Seagal is an ass:Buy a ticket to New Orleans and tell MR.S just how you feel to his face then piss on his turf. Come on you can take him.
