A 7th-dan black belt in Aikido, Seagal began his adult life as a martial arts instructor in Japan; becoming the first foreigner to operate an Aikido dojo in the country
He later moved to Los Angeles, California, where he worked as a martial arts instructor on Never Say Never Again; accidentally breaking actor Sean Connery's wrist during production
In 1988, Seagal made his acting debut in Above the Law
By 1991, he had starred in four successful films
He achieved further fame in 1992, when he played Navy SEALs counter-terrorist expert Casey Ryback in Under Siege
However, On Deadly Ground (in 1994) and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (in 1995) were less successful at the box office
During the latter half of the 1990s, Seagal starred in three more theatrical films and the direct-to-video film The Patriot
Since that time, with the exception of Exit Wounds (in 2001) and Half Past Dead (in 2002), his career has shifted almost entirely to direct-to-video productions
From 1998 to 2014, Seagal appeared in a total of 27 of these
At the age of 58, he returned to prominence as Torrez in the 2010 film Machete; his first widely released film since 2002
Intermittently between 2009 and 2013, he filmed three seasons of his reality show Steven Seagal: Lawman, which depicted Seagal performing his duties as a reserve deputy sheriff in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana (season 1–2) and Maricopa County, Arizona (season 3)
He also created and starred in two seasons of the undercover police drama series True Justice between 2011 and 2012

Quotes
False FBI accusations fueled thousands of articles saying that I terrorize journalists and associate with the Mafia . . . these kinds of inflammatory allegations scare studio heads and independent producers -- and kill careers.
I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.
