He started off playing a "guy from da hood," A ethnic Greek American living in a Chicago enclave. Actually, that wasn't such a bad performance. He just went downhill from there. I happened to catch his latest hood rat show this weekend, well, as much of it as I could stand. He played the Sean Connery "Rising Sun" role, the kind of person he always casts himself as these days, someone very familiar with the indigenous Asian culture, actually speaking the language and what not. In this film, he was a Yokohama homeboy, and I suppose since he can rock the Osaka-ben he was better in Connery in that respect. I guess I love the fact that someone so horrible can still make movies that make money.

Seagal (I can't remember whether or not he was actually supposed to be biracial, or just "down") plays a doo-rag-wearing, slang-talking cop type.

Don't knock the tail! But Segal's a master of disturbing appropriations, isn't he? Don't you remember thosse (one or two) movies he did as a biracial character (I believe) with some disturbing-yet-hilarious "blaccent?" Hahhaha! Don’t knock the tail!
