MOSCOW - President Vladimir Putin has given a Russian passport to U.S. action film star Steven Seagal, calling it a sign of a thaw in relations with the United States.
The 64-year old actor has been a regular visitor to Russia in recent years and has accompanied Putin to several martial arts events.
Seagal also has vocally defended the Russian leader’s policies and criticized the U.S. government.
After awarding Seagal citizenship through a presidential decree earlier this month, Putin hosted the actor at the Kremlin on Friday and handed him the passport.
Putin told Seagal he hopes the ceremony, which was shown on Russian state television, is “also a sign of a gradual normalization of the relations between the countries.”

every bit helps

either segal is tall or vlad is kinda short...

Looks like Seagal is trying to go the Orson Welles route in his old age although Orson didn't color his hair.

 

[Danbones]

yeah, that monochrome look

Even without the barrel chest he is a pretty big dude. I wonder if the US will ban the films he makes in Russia?? I also wonder if he will be the start of an exodus to Russia. Homesteading in eastern Russia with a few $100M in the bank would not be a bad way to spend your time.

The cold war has been over for some time now dummy. They should ban his films in the US though because they suuuuuck!.

 

[Danbones]

homesteading?...lol, and being buddies with the brass will get you invited to the best parties too...
seems like a nice wide range of activities

It does seem like his movies are better these days when he is just a bit part in another name's movie...
but the next one or the one after that could always be a blockbuster

Steven Seagal was a great actor. I haven't seen any late movies of his but the older ones were fantastic if you're a fan of martial arts.

Funny thing is, he was a Sheriff's Deputy before he was an actor; when I saw that show he did set in Louisiana, I wondered, but it turns out, that's what he did before his acting career.

Actor or Activist?

 

[Ludlow]

Actor or Activist?

Does Seagal still give you the bone on even now that he look like Orca?

I'll be back as soon as I have a good cry. You're such a bitch all the time.
