Steven Seagal: Cop in real life
Chris Spags A&E is unleashing a new “real life” series about Steven Seagal’s “actual work” as a “police officer” in between “movie roles.” According to the show, Seagal has been working as a deputy sheriff in his home town for 20 years and now he’s let this very private part of his life hit the public eye in the new show Steven Seagal: Lawman. And Fatman, though that seems to be left out of the official title.
Now assuming Seagal is doing the work of a regular cop, this is pretty cool. But at the same time, I’d be a little concerned about Steven Seagal publicly representing my town’s police force. Cops have to do a lot to dispel stereotypes about their work, but to see Seagal fatly moving from the movie screen (or, more accurately, straight-to-DVD bargain bin at your local gas station) to saving the day isn’t going to do a whole lot to make people think that cops are uniquely qualified to protect us. You could pretty much build a Jello replica of Steven Seagal and it’d do the same quality of work. And have the same body density.
On the plus side, as seen at 0:49, there will be running. And as you may have seen here before, Steven Seagal looks awesome when he runs.
