Now to explain, I’m not broadly talking about Steven Seagals movies. With the exception of the five actual good ones he was the lead in (and executive decision which he did not star in), I’m more looking at the man himself as an actor. Whilst the human being Steven Seagal can best be described as a bloated try hard who took himself way to seriously to be even remotely likeable (not to mention his well documented Asshole status and horrendous criminal accusations), the action persona he cultivated as the take no shit badass who bended limbs as easy as breathing really got old fast (not least of which because it seemed to be all he was capable of playing). However, at least in his early career there was something at the very least intriguing about him, even if by and large he was never the best thing in any of his movies, even the big five. Couple that with his near invulnerability in all his movies (again excluding executive decision), his schtick got very old very fast.

So I’m curious, apart from the so badly ridiculous you have to laugh at him, what was actually Seagal the actors appeal?
