Gossip: Steven Seagal
The former action star is now a sheriff’s deputy in Hudspeth County, Texas.
Steven Seagal is patrolling the border, said TMZ.com. The former action star, 59, was sworn in last weekend as a sheriff’s deputy in Hudspeth County, Texas, and plans to work full-time to help secure the border between the United States and Mexico. “It became very clear to me that Mr. Seagal is not in this for the celebrity or the publicity,” said Sheriff Arvin West. “He’s like the rest of us that live down here; he has a sincere passion for his country and he wants to do more to help.”
