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

Of course, Steven Seagal is a “classic narcissist with the maturity of a 12-year-old,” he’s a fu@king actor!

[@YouLikeBosch]

I never get tired of people ragging on Steven Seagal. What a spectacle.

[@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044]

I love Stephen Tobolowsky. Not a big star. Will never be remembered like a legend. But whenever I see him in a movie, I perk up a little. Great character actor.

[@GlassMana]

Editing in the holy music was awesome. I love Stephen Seagal for being so unintentionally funny, and I love this actor Stephen Tobolowsky for gaslighting the hell out of most unintentionally hilarious actor, and telling a great story. I don't really know any Seagal movies. I assume he's in some pretty bad movies. But he's in some fantastic stories.

[@mattheusfinco7050]

does Steven Seagal thinks that when he "kills" someone in a scene he is actually killing the person?

Lol no

Some of Tobolowsky's finest work and important contribution to Seagalogy. 👍

This is the best Steven seagal story yet

[@c827q]

When he did that movie with Tom Arnold he walked out the wrong door on the house boat and fell into the water

I remember toblowsky as the alternative doctor on Seinfeld. Best performance I’ve ever seen.

[@richardmartinez3342]

Im loving how so many actors that i enjoy are cast around Steven Seagal and the stories are just gold.

[@zombiedodge1426]

Rob Schneider telling his Steven Seagal story ("Who wrote it?" "I did.") is by far the funniest moment of Schneider's career.

[@mrcritical6751]

There’s also John Leguizamo’s story about him where on the first day of filming Executive Decision he tried to dominate the rest of the cast and crew by saying he was in command and his word was law, John rightfully laughed at him and Steven rammed his neck with his elbow and forced him into a corner. What’s funnier is apparently Steven went to a screening of it and started having a mental breakdown when the audience cheered at his death scene

[@thecookreporting]

This is the kind of story I like and expect to hear about Steven Seagal

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.

I love how quickly Seagal gave up in years beyond on his little spiritual awakening.

[@Gilmaris]

It's like a teenager - vegetarian one year, Buddhist the next and then fighting to save the rain forest. Like the saying goes: if you're not an idealist when young, you have no heart. If you're still an idealist when old, you have no brain.

Gilmaris never heard that.i like it

[@BWater-yq3jx]

@@wnerko7484 I've heard a similar version, except it's 'communist' instead of 'idealist'. I think the political use of this expression is where it started, but the re-wording here probably gives you more opportunities to use it!

[@fkerpants]

Stephen Tobolowsky is like M. Emmett Walsh. He's one of those dudes you've seen a bazillion times, but he's so good, you sorta miss him. He was awesome in "Mississippi Burning," especially the scene where he tells Lester to shut up.

[@theprinceoftides6836]

Yup. He was also great in Basic Instinct.
