Some actors are considered immensely unpopular among Hollywood colleagues. Action star Steven Seagal is a prominent example because of various alleged assaults.

Because of brutal assault: action star Steven Seagal gets his fat off in The Menu

That behind this statement is not just a harmless difference of opinion, Leguizamo revealed, among other things, back in 2012 in a conversation with AV Club :
We have [für Einsame Entscheidung] rehearsed and [Seagal] came in and said, “I’m giving the orders here. What I say is the law.” i giggled I mean who talks like that? So he has me hit a wall with an aikido elbow, that took all my breath away. I fell to the ground and just gasped, “Why?”
It is by no means the only report of a Seagal assault. An actress accused him of sexual assault (via USA Today). The action star was originally supposed to take on a famous role from Vin Diesel. But the director refused tohuge ass” to cast. Leguizamo’s reputation, on the other hand, has no such blemishes. Somehow they begrudge him his belated revenge.
