Mike Leeder just posted the The Voice interview on facebook Steven did a few years ago, and says:
Ah Steven the absolute shite you come out with......
Some people responded:
- Mike Leeder himself: My few dealings with him have never been positive
- There's plenty of good reasons why many other action stars from the era like Van Damme, Lundgren, etc are all enjoying some kind of career resurgence or raised profile again these days, yet Seagal wallows in mostly poor direct to video dreck. Bad reputation, a delusional ego, and he didn't even `play the game' and keep himself in better shape as required of the sort of genre he worked in.
- Peter Kent (who worked with Seagal on True Justice): I suffered thru working several episodes of Tru Justice with him. Horrendous. He had a babe in cut offs holding his dialogue on placards behind the other actor, resulting in no eye contact or proper eyeline. He had SO much tanning makeup on I almost thought he was a Jamaican fellow. He was so loathed by the entire cast and crew that they told him they were doing him a favor by condensing all of his scenes into 3 hours of shooting. The real reason was to get rid of his insufferable egotistical ass.
- My friend was working at police HQ in torronto a number of years ago while travelling the world when steven attended to provide training (which is one of the positive things he does) and she was introduced to him. His initial greeting to her was a general greeting followed by a line that went something like "Im only interested in asian woman".....classic Seagal right there
