PREMIERING WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2ND AT 10PM ET/PT ON A&E WITH
BACK-TO-BACK EPISODES
A&E PRESENTS NEW REAL-LIFE SERIES “STEVEN SEAGAL LAWMAN”
INTERNATIONAL FILM STAR AND LEGENDARY MARTIAL ARTS EXPERT DOCUMENTS
HIS EXTRAORDINARY LAW ENFORCEMENT LIFE
New York, NY – A&E presents “Steven Seagal Lawman,” a new Real-Life
series that will chronicle martial arts expert and international
film star Steven Seagal’s extraordinary life in law enforcement on
Wednesday, December 2nd at 10PM ET/PT on A&E with back-to-back
episodes.
Seagal’s movies have grossed more than $2 billion worldwide. He is
an expert martial artist with a 7th-degree black belt in aikido.
Along with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, he is
considered one of the film industry’s greatest action stars. But it
turns out that Steven Seagal isn't just an action hero in the
movies. For almost 20 years, Seagal has been working as a
fully-commissioned deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office
in Louisiana. In fact, in addition to going out on patrol, Seagal is
an expert marksman who has worked with their SWAT team and has
instructed Jefferson Parish officers in firearms and hand-to-hand
combat.
“I’ve been working as an officer in Jefferson Parish for two decades
under most people’s radar,” said Seagal, “I’ve decided to work with
A&E on this series now because I believe it’s important to show the
nation all the positive work being accomplished here in the New
Orleans area – to see the passion, commitment and fine police work
that comes from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office in this
post-Katrina environment.”
Until now, Seagal has never sought attention for his work with the
Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. However, over a span of almost
two decades, he has regularly gone out on patrol and worked major
cases. Each thirty-minute episode will allow fans to ride shotgun
with Seagal as he and his hand-selected elite team of deputies
respond to crimes-in-progress. Then, when Seagal goes off-duty, the
cameras will continue following him as he pursues his many ventures
– including musical performances and philanthropic efforts – in
Jefferson Parish and New Orleans.
Steven Seagal is best known for playing the invincible action hero
character that defined his career in such films as Above the Law,
Hard to Kill, Under Siege (1 & 2) and blockbuster hit Exit Wounds.
He just finished shooting the new Robert Rodriguez film “Machete”
which will hit theatres in 2010. Steven co-stars with Robert DeNiro,
Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Danny Trejo. His familiarity
with his signature roles stem from a long personal history with
Eastern culture in both studying martial arts as well as practicing
Buddhism. He is also a recording artist and guitarist, is founder of
Steven Seagal Enterprises that markets his own all-natural energy
drink “Steven Seagal’s Lightning Bolt” and is a dedicated
philanthropist and activist for environmentalism and animal rights.
Steven Seagal Lawman is produced for A&E Network by ITV Studios
(formerly Granada America) and Steamroller Productions. John X. Kim
is the Executive Producer, Lucas Platt is the Co- Executive
Producer, and Anna Geddes is the Series Producer for ITV Studios.
Steven Seagal and Phillip B. Goldfine are Executive Producers for
Steamroller Productions. Joe Halpin and Binh Dang are Producers for
Steamroller Productions. Executive Producers for A&E are Robert
Sharenow and Neil A. Cohen. |
