- There is no beginning to Steven Seagal’s talent.
- The only deadly technique Seagal knows involves cholesterol.
- Steven Seagal knows Karate, Kungfu, Aikido, and Taekwondo and lots of other dangerous words.
- Steven Seagal: the only actor to stay in character for almost 40 years.
- Steven Seagal was a member of the Gravy Seals as a part of the elite Meal Team Six.
- Steven Seagal is 1/4 Cherokee. He weighs 1/4th the weight of a Cherokee Jeep. But he needs 4 times the maintenance.
- Steven Segal’s chair is the best supporting character in the history of Hollywood
- @jonsolo32 • Steven Segal taught me the “close your eyes when you shoot” technique.
- @KalTaron • You should also close your eyes when trying to cut someone. Just flail around randomly. I guarantee that it works.
- @Thane36425 • That Seagal / Van Damme fight should have been on pay per view. He could even let Van Damme get drunk again to make it more fair.
- @TheSuperappelflap • Seagal would lose a fight against a staircase at this point.
- @juliooquendo220 • Chuck Norris laughed at an interview in the 90s that Steven Seagal was this so-called action star.
- @Revenant-oq9ts • Seen how this personality develops. Realistically, he’s what happens when a bullied nerd gets fixated on one day being one of the cool kids. Ends up externalizing what he thinks is “coolness” for the world to see instead of actively working on himself.
- @Vagrant-Hex • About 10 years ago I was in Thailand walking through the jungle with a guide. He was taking me to this ex-Buddhist monk who did stick poke tattoos in a shack in the bush. When I made it to the hut, I looked around and the entire place, from wall to ceiling was covered in Buddha statues and Thai art. In the middle of the wall was one, giant headshot of Stevan Seagal with flowers decorating the picture frame. It was one of the most random things I’ve ever seen. I think about it sometimes.
- @Non-Compliant71 • Must have been a dartboard 🎯
- @danelynch7171 • Wait… this is a really cool tattoo story. Did you end up getting Steven’s face poked into your bicep?
- @Vagrant-Hex • @danelynch7171 Nah. Nothing gay like that. Just movie quotes from Under Siege 1 & 2 on my lower back.
- @nvelsen1975 • I remember that one. Written next to it was: “If you can’t control yourself, you’ll become like this.”
- @GraveyardNo6 • Fun fact. In Russia in the 1990s, the film Above the Law was sometimes sold on VHS under the title Nico: Above the Law, and films like Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, and Out for Justice sometimes simply titled Nico 2, Nico 3 and so on on VHS. The films weren’t always translated into russian language well, so we, the average viewer, didn’t pay much attention.
- @kri249 • That’s hilarious, they did stuff like that with foreign movies in the west as well. But because Steven Seagal plays the same character in every movie they can all be passed off as sequels in foreign countries.
- @Frosty_tha_Snowman • If I watched a Seagal film in badly translated Russian right now, I’d understand it just as well as I would watching it in English.
- @christopherparker7588 • There is a long running rumor that Segal’s first agent, Michael Ovitz, made a bet with another agent that he could make ANYONE a movie star. No matter how uncharismatic or untalented, Ovitz thought he had the juice to get it done. Segal fit all the parameters of the wager, and so the legend was born. I have no idea if it’s true, but it is also literally the only explanation that makes sense.

The Office
I’m re-watching The Office (I own the Blu-rays for the entire series).
The cut scenes are all really good and could have extended any given episode quite a bit. I just hit “Play All” for the cut scenes and they are like an extra episode I haven’t seen before.
There are already multiple extra mini-episodes that were web exclusives at the time, so it sure is nice to see even more pranks on Dwight!
It is sobering, though, that this second season I’m on right now is almost twenty years old. They were still making Saturns and Pontiacs when this was on-air!
Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey have a podcast (Office Ladies) where they talk about every episode in detail, and interview their fellow cast mates and other people associated with the show. It is fun to listen to the behind-the-scenes stories.
I discovered The Office online through iTunes, back in maybe 2006 or 2007. It was three dollars to buy each episode, and I’d heard enough about it that I gave it a shot. I remember it as one solid night of “Just One More Episode”, but it was probably a few nights after work of just watching this show on my computer, which was a new thing in itself.
I did realize, though, that the episode where Ryan burned a pita in the kitchen’s toaster oven, causing a panic… I did that once (a long time ago) with some microwave popcorn. Nothing causes panic like a room full of smoke at work, rightly so. But it was funnier when it happened in The Office.
There is a new series by The Office creators called The Paper, but I have no urge to watch it until it is good and done, and hopefully hits physical media. Oscar from The Office is in it. I found all seasons of Parks and Recreation at the thrift store a few years ago, I never finished that series. Not as good as The Office, but worth watching, as I remember it. Chris Pratt when he was still an unknown actor, that should be interesting to watch again now that I know where his career took off to, I like that guy.
