PREMIERING WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2ND AT 10PM ET/PT ON A&E WITH
BACK-TO-BACK EPISODES

New York, NY – October 20, 2009 - A&E presents “Steven Seagal Lawman,” a new Real-Life series that will chronicle martial arts expert and international film star Steven Seagal’s extraordinary life in law enforcement on Wednesday, December 2nd at 10PM ET/PT on A&E with back-to-back episodes.

Seagal’s movies have grossed more than $2 billion worldwide. He is an expert martial artist with a 7th-degree black belt in aikido. Along with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, he is considered one of the film industry’s greatest action stars. But it turns out that Steven Seagal isn't just an action hero in the movies. For almost 20 years, Seagal has been working as a fully-commissioned deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana. In fact, in addition to going out on patrol, Seagal is an expert marksman who has worked with their SWAT team and has instructed Jefferson Parish officers in firearms and hand-to-hand combat.

“I’ve been working as an officer in Jefferson Parish for two decades under most people’s radar,” said Seagal, “I’ve decided to work with A&E on this series now because I believe it’s important to show the nation all the positive work being accomplished here in the New Orleans area – to see the passion, commitment and fine police work that comes from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office in this post-Katrina environment.”
Until now, Seagal has never sought attention for his work with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. However, over a span of almost two decades, he has regularly gone out on patrol and worked major cases. Each thirty-minute episode will allow fans to ride shotgun with Seagal as he and his hand-selected elite team of deputies respond to crimes-in-progress. Then, when Seagal goes off-duty, the cameras will continue following him as he pursues his many ventures – including musical performances and philanthropic efforts – in Jefferson Parish and New Orleans.
Steven Seagal is best known for playing the invincible action hero character that defined his career in such films as Above the Law, Hard to Kill, Under Siege (1 & 2) and blockbuster hit Exit Wounds. He just finished shooting the new Robert Rodriguez film “Machete” which will hit theatres in 2010. Steven co-stars with Robert DeNiro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Danny Trejo. His familiarity with his signature roles stem from a long personal history with Eastern culture in both studying martial arts as well as practicing Buddhism. He is also a recording artist and guitarist, is founder of Steven Seagal Enterprises that markets his own all-natural energy drink “Steven Seagal’s Lightning Bolt” and is a dedicated philanthropist and activist for environmentalism and animal rights.

Steven Seagal Lawman is produced for A&E Network by ITV Studios (formerly Granada America) and Steamroller Productions. John X. Kim is the Executive Producer, Lucas Platt is the Co- Executive Producer, and Anna Geddes is the Series Producer for ITV Studios. Steven Seagal and Phillip B.

I haven't been here for quite awhile to say the least, but am just stopping by to say i truly enjoy watching Lawman on A&E! It is very good, and aside from the sheriff duties, gives a glimpse into Steven's interests - and music. One show features him doing a benefit concert and they showed an entire song! Nice! I think he has accomplished a good look into the Louisiana law enforcement picture, and what things are being done to help New Orleans rebuild - helping the people. Way to go Steven! We truly appreciate you and the LEO's there in Jefferson Parish!
And BTW, yes, have noticed that perhaps Steven could lose a bit of weight ... however, as one who is 60 yrs old I can say it isn't as easy as it sounds for those of you who are younger. But one can try at least, i know i am :) and in the end, it is what is in the Heart and Soul that really matter - and the weight of Goodness cannot be measured.
 
Lawman - Season 2

I have read somewhere on the net, that A&E TV is considering the second season of this show. Does anyone know more? I think, that the first season is very successful, so the second one seems to be a smart decision.

As it was a record beaking opener, i would expect a second season. No idea how the viewing figures are doing now. I will ask A&E once the first season has completed. :)

I'm a big fan of Steven's that's why I belong to this site and blogged asking two normal questions. Everyone likes to know where movie stars live that's why in Hollywood they sell maps to the stars homes. And people buy them. I'm just curious. They show it in "Lawman" have you seen it? Nice tan two story brick with a pool.
