Losers of the Week
STEVEN SEAGAL
File this under Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire Down Below. The marshmallow martial arts actor raised some eyebrows when he announced this spring that he would play Genghis Khan in an upcoming movie, a role that's been mercifully left alone since The Conqueror, where John Wayne donned a Fu Manchu mustache and drawled, "You're beautiful in your wrath," to Susan Hayward. This week Seagal informed Star Magazine he's also trying to raise funds for a Jimi Hendrix biopic. That in itself is bad enough - the last time Seagal brought Hendrix music to the big screen it was in Under Siege, where Tommy Lee Jones was a crazy old hippie who air guitars Jimi's "Star Spangled Banner" as he sends a nuclear missile to Hawaii. But Seagal wants to play the Voodoo Chile himself? Who would even pick up the lunch check for that brain wave?
Last time we looked, Seagal was a hulky (you can call him fat) 50-year-old Caucasian with greased-back hair, hardly a match for a sleek soul brother. So what are Seagal's qualifications for purple hazing? According to Seagal, he's "a great guitar player and a passable singer," and he owns one of Hendrix's Marshall amps and most of Hendrix's music on CD. And Danny DeVito wanted too much money.
