Steven Frederic Seagal (born April 10, 1952) is an American martial artist, actor, producer, writer, musician and former reserve deputy sheriff. Seagal began his adult life as an Aikido instructor in Japan. He became the first foreigner to have an Aikido dojo in Japan. He later moved to Los Angeles, California. There he made several movies. His first film "Above the Law" (1988) is regarded as the first American film to feature aikido in fight sequences. "Under Siege" (1992) brought him the most fame. Seagal was one of the most successful martial arts actors of the 1980s and 1990s, alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme. Credited with popularising aikido in film, Seagal is considered an important figure in the development and popularization of martial arts in the West.
