A Steven Seagal fan
I became a fan of Steven Seagal because his films are entertaining and I look forward to him receiving an Academy/Oscar Award someday for his contributions to cinema.
I became a fan when i think i was like 11 or 12 we had above the Law & one day my mom & I went to the store one day and she told me to pick out a movie for my dad & i picked up fire down below I didn't know Steven Seagal starred in it tho but one day i seen it and then i watched them or actually my dad put them on and we watched them then i realized we had under siege on vhs and about 6 years ago i watched it & ever since then i have been collecting all his movies & love hearing news about him & what not my sister make fun of me cause im a fan they always say mean shit about him & it always pisses me off but i dont let it get to me but yeah
I won't even lie here.
I HATED Steven Seagal when I was younger...
He hit the scene big in 1992 with Under Siege...and I was a 17yr old tree-hugging hippie chick, who viewed Steven as some violent, aggressive man. I also at that age had NO concept of martial arts at the time.
I even went so far as to make fun of the Lawman promos in 2009, because I still had this misguided image of him. The only reason I even saw his promos was because I am a big fan of Dog the Bounty Hunter. My boyfriend Steve convinced me to watch Lawman....
And after I watched it...I saw someone who was the COMPLETE opposite of my pre-conceived notions. THEN I saw his A&E Biography, and found out about his music, his career, learned more about what martial arts were, and what touched me most, his philanthropic work.
I have been hooked ever since
Why did you hate Chief Steven Seagal when you were younger and be specific as possible for your hateful reasons if you can recall? Er I mean especially since you won't "lie".

I viewed him as "violent"....I didn't understand the martial arts being a typical "ignorant" teenager. I hated Arnold, Sly, Jean-Claude, ALL of the Action movie stars...it wasn't a genre I was interested in...
This is 17yr old me:

This girl was all about Motley Crue, Poison, Big Hair...etc....THIS girl hated Steven Seagal......
Now, I am a mature 37 yr old, and I very much respect Sensei Seagal and his grasp of the martial arts, his compassion for others, and just him as a person...
Welcome to the site Paul.
I became a fan after seeing Nico. Had not seen martial arts performed in such a brutal way before. Don i don't think i will see the day when Steven Seagal gets an oscar.
Its just an figure of speech Don what Craig is saying is it would be fantastic to see Steven get an award for all he has done in movies and TV BUT it aint going to happen any day soon ..iam hoping that stevens show TJ will be such an great hit in the states that will make it happen..
Lawman should of won an award it was the 2nd most popular TV show on A&E. He won 1-8 nomination while back.Its just an figure of speech Don what Craig is saying is it would be fantastic to see Steven get an award for all he has done in movies and TV BUT it aint going to happen any day soon ..iam hoping that stevens show TJ will be such an great hit in the states that will make it happen..
Of course he should ... the day will come iam sure just gotta keep believing that
