According to Steven Seagal, false allegations by FBI agents ruined his movie career, said Reuters, citing the Los Angeles Times.

"False FBI accusations fueled thousands of articles saying that I terrorize journalists and associate with the Mafia," Seagal told the newspaper. "These kinds of inflammatory allegations scare studio heads and independent producers -- and kill careers."

This all goes back to the FBI investigation of private detective Anthony Pellicano who was arrested and awaits trial in a federal prison on a number of charges, including wire-tapping.

Years ago Seagal had ties to Pellicano, but had been at odds with him and was in the midst of a legal battle with him in 2002. The investigatino of Pellicano had started at that time. Seagal had told the Times that he handn't been on speaking terms with Pellicano from the 1990s.

:lol: ha! ha! TJL you crack me! not to mention exit wounds, under siege 2, fire down below and many other of his films. like jean claude van damme, segal's movies are all the same as each other, regardless of the plot and the characters he plays. he does the same thing, day in day out.

and as for wanting a public apology, for what exactly? for being a z-list action movie actor?

It sounds to me that he's just trying to stir the controversy pot to get some press. My husband loves his movies, even the straight-to-video ones that he makes now. He doesn't participate in the action as much as he used to, but for Seagal fans, they're enjoyable. He used to be so handsome before he packed on the weight.

Mr Sagal has also asked for apologies from the little green saucer men who have been abducting him for several years now, the "man on the grassy knoll", someone he only knows as "Deep throat" and a mysterious stranger who keeps accosting him on the street and asking him: "Keneth, what is the frequency?" :rolleyes:

This contributed to his downward spiral of his career, that and his movies were just painful to watch he should apologize to us. I also think his attitude sunk his career too.

I don't think it was the mob thing so to speak that "ruined his career" as much as shifting tastes of moviegoers. Him and Van Damme both had their heyday in the early 90's, but how many times could either of them make the same movie (tho I have to admit to enjoying Under Siege and Timecop) before people stopped going? Plus, the whole one-man-action type movie died a long time ago, even Schwarzeneggar was packing a string of flops before he ran for governer, barring Terminator 3.
