Some days you see a video and you have to watch it again to make sure you're not having some sort of incredibly bizarre dream. This is one such occasion.

Apparently Steven Seagal, over the last twenty years in between shooting movies, has been working as a Sheriff’s deputy in the Jefferson Parish police department in Louisiana. It all started when he was shooting a film there (I’m not a big enough Seagal enthusiast to know which one), and in his spare time volunteered to show some of the officers his moves, which they found awesome and subsequently adopted him. Now, 20 years later, Seagal’s police adventures are being turned into a show on A&E called "Lawman."

To put this in a similar context, it’s like if Chuck Norris signed on to be an actual Texas Ranger. If I was a crackhead that was tackled to the ground by Steven Seagal, I would probably just dismiss the whole thing as some sort of really awesome trip, which only gets more awesome when after you get out on bail, you find yourself watching the entire episode unfold again on A&E.

The show trailer is below. It’s only NSFW because you’ll likely exclaim “What the f*ck?!” very loudly after you watch it.

Steven was such a badass in the early nineties. Now he has become a whale. A joke. Still... it could be really fun to see him use armlocks and Aikido techniques on real-life punks. This could be a complete bore, or ultra fun. Wait and see.

Chuck Norris
Is actually a volunteer Police officer in my hometown Terrell, TX. I remember 11 years ago, he was part of a big drug bust there.

The best thing to do
The only way for steven seagal to become a bad-ass bonebreaker again is if he starts loosing weight, gaining muscles shave his head and have a beard. It would be an all new look and make him look more dangerous again. He looks to nice at the moment. I really like his older movies which all scream; Dont fuck with me!

I'm a Celebrity: Get on the ground!
That's one way to try and revive a career. Better that than doing The Surreal Life, I guess.

"No stunt doubles." I like how they feel the need to stress that, being as in his recent movies he doesn't even get out of a chair without a stunt double.
