I have no ides what that means.
I DO know what this Wikipedia entry means though:
"He (Steven Seagal) says that he graduated from a police academy in California and has a certificate from Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST), an organization that accredits California police officers. In television commercials broadcast prior to the premiere of his reality television series, Steven Seagal: Lawman, he says he has been a police officer for 20 years. However, according to a December 2, 2009 Los Angeles Times commentary, P.O.S.T. has no record of this, and his deputy chief rank is ceremonial only."
Fascinating.
I have stated before that I LOVE Seagal's "one-man-army" approach to action films and appearing almost invincible in his movies. Just mowing down bad guys without breaking a sweat. I love that, it's different. Normally you would give the hero a seemingly impossible task to overcome in the third act but with SS there was never any doubt as to if he would beat the baddies or not. He always did. Easily.
Granted, I haven't seen any of his recent movies, but the old early nineties ones I really liked.
I feel that it's important for his fans to realize that he only has super powers ON SCREEN, in real life; not so much. These misconceptions (the existence of real life super powers) seem very common among action film lovers and low level martial artists. There's a tendency to want to believe in the "magical" aspect of the old martial arts. And Seagal appears to believe he has magical abilities. That's creepy to me.
Good news for the chubby one though:
