With the rest of the cast, a B movie star of the time like Thomas Ian Griffith gets a similar box office.

That "spiritual awakening" stuff is pretty hollow when you see some of the stuff Seagal has made over the years. Some of it is borderline psychopathic - _and Seagal wrote it himself._

[@RollinTwentySix]

I love this man's work, Tobolowsky is an actor's actor. Whatever character he plays, it's him, but with impeccable nuances.

[@yanmagno3]

Hey now, to be fair, Aikido has probably made some poor fool think he could really fight and ended up getting himself killed, so...

[@jackjones3657]

Wow, sometimes reality is stranger than fiction!

[@thomaspayne6866]

Segal is not living in reality

[@Mrbfgray]

Angelo Hollywood has nothing to do with reality, it's about escape from reality. Very few actors are respectable, Seagal's entire persona reeks of phony.

not that much into seagal films , but this was a great part of the film , Tobolowsky is a great actor and totally nailed the scene.

[@desepticon4]

That was back when Seagal actually made real movies, with professional crews and actors.

[@thehighseer23]

Stephen Tobolowsky is a legend. I already enjoyed the guy's excellent work in countless supporting roles but this story put him over the top for me. Big respect.

[@redbake]

This sounds like a skit from madtv.

[@bink]

redbake Too bad Will Sasso never got around to doing this sketch...

[@sapientia_et_virtus]

Despite the wackiness, this is actually one of the few stories that sheds a different light on Seagal for me. It's good to know that at least once in his career he realized that he may have been representing Aikido in a manner that did not embody its true philosophy of peace and harmony. He may not have approached it in a very reasonable manner, but at least he did realize that he was misrepresenting Aikido finally.

Steven is the best possible example of “Oh I’ve seen that guy before”, if anyone in Hollywood. Nobody knows who he is, but everyone’s seen his face once or twice.

[@The_ScapeGoat]

Sasso nails everything about Seagal. His personality, his mannerisms, his childlike excitement for getting to be the badass. Sasso is an extremely underrated comedic genius.

[@h8troodoh]

Will Sasso is totally underrated too.. he can play anyone, I bet.. that man has made me laugh so hard over the years.. God bless him.

[@gernhartreinholzen3992]

I didn't know that actors can just change the script spontaneously as they please.

[@sammyhooligan803]

Yea, I would say anything goes in a majority of his movies. Actually I never seen more than 5 minutes of any of his movies, because he looked like he didn't have any acting ability from that 5 minutes I'd even seen. And other critic's said that since he tried writing all his own movies, they were so confusing that the directors basically said, Whatever, and went with it just to get it over with and done.

[@EmperorStarscream]

He was at the height of his stardom, the whole movie rested on his shoulders

[@crazyguy43]

If you're a star you can. I think he was also the producer, so that helps too.

[@mangakey]

They aren't supposed too but if your one of the main stars of the movie such that they can't finish the movie without you can make all kinda crazy demands... If you try that as anything but a main star you just get fired...

When Steven Segal found out he had to testify against Peter Gotti,the FBI agents said that he cried hysterically.😂😂😂

[@Ruosteinenknight]

This was the time when he tried to leave the production company he had with Nasso, right? He basically tried to avoid his contractual obligations (he either had to pay Nasso for three, four movies or do them) so Nasso had Gambino family enforcers to go and "reason" with Seagal.

[@bobxyzp]

I’m fascinated by actors like this. They’ve never starred in much but they’ve worked with almost every actor in Hollywood and done episodes on dozens of shows. They must have so many stories

My biggest problem with his movies is he plays the exact same boring Mary Sue character in each film. It feels like he has a god complex and an ego the size of Jupiter.

I love the early 90s Seagal movies, well the fight scenes to be more precise, But you are right, I mean listen to an interview from him and compare it to a role he plays, its the exact same goddamm thing.
