"False FBI accusations fueled thousands of articles saying that I terrorize journalists and associate with the Mafia," Seagal told the newspaper. "These kinds of inflammatory allegations scare studio heads and independent producers -- and kill careers."
Seagal, 56, was once a major star of action movies such as 1992's "Under Siege," which earned $156 million at worldwide box offices, but now he makes straight-to-DVD releases such as "Flight of Fury and "Attack Force."
Gee, Steven, it's just a wild guess, but maybe your career was ruined because you can barely act and most of your movies just plain suck. (Although the Under Siege movies were OK guilty pleasures.)
