Celebrity/Musician Double-Threat Hall of Fame Inductee #2: Steven Segal

The ponytail. The fatal Aikido death-strikes. The Under Siege saga.

When you think of Hollywood "legends," a handful of names automatically come to mind: James Cagney. Humphrey Bogart. Marlon Brando. John Wayne. Steven Segal.

Steven Segal is a master of many talents. Some might consider the man to be a genius; a Renaissance man, if you will. His illustrious acting career has kept him on top since the 80s, and his practice of martial arts keeps him incredibly fit as the years go on. His amazing physique has been marveled at for some time now, and will continue to do so for years to come. Some say he has the body of a man half his age, but much shorter and with only one working leg. And with terrible asthma.

But aside from Segal's incredible acting talents, his killer bod, his lethal Aikido moves, and his amazing hair (which, for some reason he keeps hiding with bandannas -- c'mon, Steven, let those locks fly!), did you also know that he is an accomplished musician and a radical guitar player? Neither did I, until I saw it myself.

So last week I Googled "Best Actor/Musician EVER" and who's name should appear? Will Smith, David Bowie, Sting, Mark Wahlberg, Meatloaf, Ice Cube, Ice-T, Jack Black, Lyle Lovett, Eminem, Harry Connick Jr., Jared Leto, etc, etc, etc.

But THEN I typed in the word "Martial Artist" next to my original search and did another search and then guess who's name should come up?

You guessed it: Steven Segal.

And let me tell you something: music-wise? This guy is good. His lyrics are incredibly introspective. His voice is sultry and soulful. And his guitar skills? Holy shit --the guy has some serious chops. His skill is literally unmatched by anyone who has ever done an action/revenge film AND played a Gibson Flying-V.

So on top of his acting chops, the guy's got some amazing guitar chops. And plus he's got a vast array of deadly Aikido chops. So, I don't know about you -- but that's a lot of chops!!

So without further ado, I present our next inductee:
