Steven Seagal is a true action hero
and before he was commissioned by the Russian Foreign Ministry to strengthen ties with the US, Steven Seagal was known as a hard-boiled old action star. With his carieri, Segal appeared in more than fifty films on the big screen in 1988, and he has more than a few classics.
The former dojo owner has been a major face in the martial arts world in the US and around the world for over forty years. He put those skills to good use in the gritty action world, creating some legendary characters.

Orin Boyd (Exit Wounds 2001)
Detective Orin Boyd is the epitome of stereotypical action movie cops. He shoots a helicopter out of the sky with only a pistol. He single-handedly saves the Vice President from a group of armed terrorists. He clearly showed what the definition of a “free gun” is. Orin Boyd isn’t just your average take on the invincible Steven Seagal, he’s a comic book superhuman. He leaps over a car speeding straight towards him in one leap. He even prevents the helicopter from taking off by holding it with his bare hands.Lt. Colonel Austin Travis (Executive Decision 1996)
The executive decision is rather unusual for a Steven Seagal film. He’s a regular SWAT soldier, has a dream team of ’90s action actors, and leads an operation to rescue a hijacked plane full of civilians. At the very beginning of the mission, Travis and his team must secretly infiltrate the plane mid-air through an airtight seal attached to a stealth plane. But a series of mistakes and failures leads to the fact that printing becomes unstable. Without hesitation, Travis makes the decision to seal the hatch from the outside before he destroys both planes and he perishes. this remains not only a cool move in Segal’s career, but also one of the coolest moves in action movie history.Forrest Taft (On Deadly Ground 1994)

This film from Steven Seagal’s point of view is clearly cool, he is a Los Angeles police detective who delivers the most pleasure compared to his early characters.
Mason is a character for whom the film tries with all its might, just to show the audience how gifted he is. He is one of those people who angrily say something like “I will take you to the bank, Senator Trent… to the blood bank” on the TV screen, when in fact there is no one in the room with him. He is probably the most funny and cool character of Seagal.
