News from today’s Guardian about everyone’s favorite Buddhist ass-kicker. In a life-imitating-art-imitating-life twist of M?ɬ?bius dimensions, brace yourself for Steven Seagal: Lawman. Apparently, the ponytailed one’s been flying under the radar in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, these past 20 years as a genuine deputy sheriff. And now, with Lawman, we can all ride shotgun as he responds to “crimes-in-progress.”
As Seagal himself asserts in the accompanying clip, “This is not a joke. This is real police officers down here, in life-and-death situations.” I’ll wait and see, though, if he’ll be resolving those situations with just his “gaze and his gestures.”
