I don't think that the number one DTV actor is a D class star in the US. Don't forget that this market didn''t even exist a few years ago, and in this market there are way more movies to compete with than in cinemas. And Seagal's movies are the best-selling movies on this market. And TYD brought back its complete budget three weeks before its release just from pre-sales!
The budget, quality and production value of Seagal's movies are way better than the average DTV movies, and - this is my opinion - are nearly reaching the level of a cinematic movie. Yes, OFAK was not the best for example, but Seagal himself hired an Academy Award winner production designer for that movie, so it is not Seagal to blame for some cheap-looking sets.
