Following starring roles in ten smash hit films, STEVEN SEAGAL (Orin Boyd) has become one of the world's most popular film stars.
Seagal made his motion picture debut starring in 1987's "Above the Law." which launched him from a virtual unknown to a leading action star. He also co-wrote and co produced that film. A slate of action-packed, hit movies followed, including "Hard to Kill," "Marked for Death," "Out for Justice" (which he also produced), the smash blockbuster "Under Siege," "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" (also as producer), his directorial debut, the environmental epic, "On Deadly Ground," and "Fire Down Below." Seagal also co-starred opposite Kurt Russell in key cameo in the action hit "Executive Decision," starred with Keenen Ivory Wayans in "The Glimmer Man" (for which he wrote and performed two songs for the soundtrack), and was seen in a cameo role in the feature "My Giant." His most recent effort was a starring role in the cable feature "The Patriot."
Seagal was born in Detroit, and raised in Southern California. His interest in the martial arts began at age seven. Discovering a Japanese dojo in a neighboring town, he began studying Aikido, long considered the most difficult and spiritual of the martial arts discipline. A decade later, Seagal moved to Japan and established a reputation as a master of martial arts. He became the first non-Asian to organize his own dojo in Tokyo, one that, with over 2,000 students, remains in operation today.
