Action hero Steven Seagal is one of the most loved Hollywood actors in modern Hollywood. Criminals in Texas had better beware - because Hollywood tough guy Steven Seagal has got a new job. After a career upholding the law on film - and occasionally playing bad guys - the tough-talking action hero is now a real-life crime-fighter.
Steve Seagal taking oath of office as Deputy Sheriff
Mr Seagal, 59, was sworn-in as a Sheriff's Deputy this week to go out on patrol in Hudspeth County, which runs along the Rio Grande east of El Paso. He will be on the lookout for people trying to slip across the border from Mexico.
The actor, currently starring in a reality show about his time as a New Orleans reserve deputy, contacted County Sheriff Arvin West about his interest in 'patrolling the border'. 'Mr Seagal is not in this for the celebrity or publicity,' Sheriff West said. 'He has a sincere passion for his country and he wants to do more to help. I think he will make a significant contribution to this office and to our community.'
