Dr. Grande manages to be more entertaining and authentic than Steven Segall has ever been despite having a single facial expression and voice tone to work with.

[@retalbtaylor370]

Not to mention Dr. Grande’s outfits are actually good looking and fit him, even entertaining such as in this Hawaiian looking shirt today. Seagal’s looks look like an unending torture for the eyeballs, an overstuffed sausage in a too tight, too long, black rotted casing. Wouldn’t want to eat, smell it, touch it, be in the same city block as it. I’ll take Dr. Grande’s Hawaiian shirt any day over Steven Seagal wearing anything or nothing.

I never could stand Segal. In the late 80's I actually ran into him at a video rental store. He was there with some blonde model type talking to the owner. I could just FEEL the arrogance and insecurity. He kept looking at me like he was waiting for me to recognize him. When I finshed paying I said bye to the owner and the model and ignored Segal. I wish I could have seen his face.

But, like all great powers it should be judiciously applied, suit the narrative and not be forced or overused.

My favourite Seagal story is that he was on a movie set telling everyone how the Dalai Lama gave him some special blessing, and he reached a spiritual awareness about most people, just then someone told him his wife left a message saying she couldn't bring his kids over for the weekend. He blew up and started calling her every name under the sun.

[@pepelemoko01]

Another one is Gene LeBell who is the inspiration for Brad Pitt's character in "once upon a time in Hollywood" and got challenged by Seagal saying his Aikido can defeat any choke hold.LeBell allegedly choked him out causing Seagal to poo his pants.

Not that a *real* blessing from the Dalai Lama signifies much. After all, that ghastly twerp who ran the Nexium cult received His Holiness's sacred thumbs up. Must have cost a pretty penny. Seagal doesn't have cult leader money.

[@JaxonSmithers]

Back in the late 80's when his acting career was in its prime (for lack of a better word) people were convinced he was a former Navy SEAL and Vietnam veteran, not to mention a total badass. I guess people were a lot more impressionable in those days. I only ever saw one film of his that was watchable, and I'll be damned if I don't recall which one it was. You should do a longer documentary on him called *Above the Truth, the Many Lies of Steven Seagal.*

[@demonicusa.k.a.theblindguy3929]

Yet we were all definitely more impressionable back then but we also didn't have phones in our pockets we could use to fact check things. Reminds me of hearing about hot dog girl and junior high.

Their was an interview where he said this is what "we" in the special forces like to call etc . The guy actually thinks he was one of them lol Just as he thinks he's regarded as a legendary master among the other's . He is the true definition of the word narcissist .

[@MrsJHarrington]

Dr. Grande, you hit the nail on the head with your analysis! Bravo! I could never stand that man, he isn't a nice person and he's definitely NOT ABOVE anyone.

[@mrk3032]

Judging by all the weight Seagal has gained, he could start a whole franchise of movies using his 3 letter formula. Titles such as: 1. "Time For Breakfast." 2. "Early For Lunch." 3. "What's For Dinner?" 4. "Late Night Snack." (Subtitled "Meal #4"). A buddy of mine works in movies as an extra and occasionally as a stunt man. According to him, Seagal is the biggest a**hole in Hollywood.

Seagal's early movies were actually very good, as an action movies, of course. Under Siege was an excellent premise. I met Seagal when I was working as armed security officer for company called Westec, and found him very respectful.

[@micnorton9487]

Under Siege was "an excellent premise?" A rogue CIA operative goes postal,, takes over a US Navy battleship with ONLY the executive officer helping him,, and brings a playmate in a cake for some reason that's totally inconsequential except for giving Seagull a female costar... This operative ALSO stole a North Korean submarine and just sorta kept it for,, I don't know,, a fishing yacht or something... THEN you got the ship... The USS Missouri,, a 55000 ton BB with a crew of over 1200... The crew is either totally incompetent OR the exec's orders seem kosher JUST BECAUSE there's a playmate coming aboard... Orders to disregard the security of the ships nuclear weapons are "protested",, rather than brought to the immediate attention of the captain and whatever admirals were associated with the ships deployment... And the captain - NO CAPTAIN IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY EVER sits in his cabin reading a novel, especially not for hours and hours... And that idiotic story about the party sucks so much wind that it's a Hoover deluxe,, nothing's ever unscheduled on a United States Navy warship except maybe combat and this took place during peacetime.... And now the "hero"... Or should say ZERO,, Casey Ryback... Ah forget it,, I already am about to projectile vomit from recalling all the stupidity of under siege....

[@damianstarks3338]

You completely read my mind here.

[@skepticalgenious]

Yes I quit enjoy multiple forms of humor. Humor itself is such a teetering act in my opinion. No matter what form.

[@angusorvid8840]

Seagal is a prime example of a peak hypermasculine superego on steroids. He reminds me of Pat, an old classmate from high school. Pat claimed to be a Navy Seal, then a CIA operative, then a fire jumper, then a deputy sheriff in some county we could never locate because he kept changing the name, thinking we wouldn't notice (Ashtabula/Beluthihatchi/Shanictopee/Menominieno/Wampum). In his next incarnation Pat was chef, but not just any chef. He was trained at Cordon Bleu in France. Then he started dropping names of all the restaurants where he was executive chef, which is either really impressive or means he can't hold down a job. And of course, he trained under all the big name chefs. I know this sort of personality all too well. I think everyone has known a guy like Pat...or Steven Seagal.

[@Don.Challenger]

Yes, just as you can be fatally injured in a fall from a sidewalk curb as a failed BASE jump, your narrative personal legend should be proportionate to reality and not over vivid hyperbole.

[@franz909]

You're assigning too much uniqueness to the clown cs he's really an ' example ' of dumb downed America manipulated by Hollyweird and he's no different than Chuck Norris , Arnold , & others that can't ACT ...their way out of a wet paper bag.

[@despayre3914]

You guys watch too much internet. When ever was he hypermasculine....more so than the rest of 'em? Out of all the 80's/90's action stars he was the least overtly muscular....just in shape but without the bulging muscles. He did not stereotypically get 'the girl' in every movie or at least they didn't show it much, unlike the other guys. Fighting was more believable than most of the other nonsense. Bad actor......aren't they all 😏? Only one who can really act but showed it in just a couple of movies is Stallone. First 5 or 6 Seagal movies are just gold! After that it was a sliding scale.....as with most.

[@catsantos353]

I regret indulging him in his blatant lies instead of just calling it like the bs tht it was 😡 he ended up getting some younger girl from upstate pregnant so..... scary tht this sorta wacko is a father

[@jackgoodwin2366]

I always thought Steven Seagal was the Anti-Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris seems humble, likeable and doesn’t appear ( at least in my view ) not to take himself too seriously even though he is a tough martial artist. Steven Seagal is so self absorbed he was quoted as saying he “wished someday he could be known as an actor rather than a sex symbol.” 😂

Hi Doctor Todd! There's an anecdote where Gene Le bell performed a chokehold on him and Seagal hit him in the balls when he found out he couldn't get off of it. He was bragging about a secret infallible technique to break chokeholds. The issue was that Le bell took that low punch as a man and didn't let go Seagal, then Seagal made an incredible effort to break off and defecated his own pants. He has denied everything, he even denied knowing La Bell, or having heard about him, which frankly doesn't help. Seagal is a bad actor, a very cuestionable sportsman and a complete fiasco as a person.

This edition is hilarious. I was in the military during much of his "acting" career. I know first hand that Segal, prior to a trip to Asia to study knife fighting, offered to teach CIA officers at The Farm upon his return. His offer was immediately rejected. Grande's deadpan is very enjoyable. Thanks Doctor!

[@chris55529]

Brilliant, Doc, as always. A couple of things about Seagal just from my own experience: the character flaws, and acting flaws, are just as you stated. However, I did find his first film interesting, because of this: rarely has anyone come out of nowhere, with NO acting training, and carried a film. It almost never happens. I'm not saying he was a "good actor" in that film, but I am saying he was good ENOUGH. With no acting training. If I recall correctly, producer Michael Ovitz was one of Seagal's Aikido pupils, and decided at some point that Seagal possessed enough charisma to possibly cross over into some film work. In my opinion, Seagal did just fine -- I speak only of the first film. It never got any better. Also, Seagal had some advantages regarding Aikido (which reminds me, your summary of Aikido was correct -- it's graceful, but almost useless in combat): Aikido depends on split-second timing. Seagal had that, and he knew what he was doing as far as his favorite techniques. But he also had an "unfair" advantage, which is that he is very tall. If you've trained in the least practical martial art, but you tower over your opponents and have a huge speed advantage, how can you lose? Anyway, thanks for this great, and very funny, video.

He definitely is a real black belt, although one of the Shihan in one of the social groups I frequent once mentioned that he allegedly got one of his black belt ranks because he had certain information about the Doshu's personal life. 😳 Granted though, he could have legitimately had the technical expertise for the rank, but Doshu simply refused to promote him. (Back when this event supposedly happened, there was much greater bias against promoting practitioners who were not Japanese to higher ranks.)
