导演声称，这位动作明星是“不可能”的，是“噩梦”
导演安东尼·希科克斯（Anthony Hickox）一起工作后，职业转变。
Making movies can be a high-stress process, and tempers can flare, but it's not every actor who gets called out by the people they work with after the fact. There are certainly those whose alleged bad behavior has earned them a reputation, including an iconic action hero. In an interview with Dread Central, director Anthony Hickox, who is best known for making horror movies, opened up about an actor he worked with who was so difficult that he inspired Hickox to make a change in his career.
This actor wasn't just a problem for him, either. Other people in the industry have complained about this celebrity's reported lack of professionalism. Read on to find out who Hickox branded "a nightmare" and what happened on their set to make him feel this way.

Working with the actor soured Hickox on the action genre.
In an interview with the horror movie site Dread Central in 1999, Hickox was asked why he stopped making horror movies, which were his signature. Hickox films in that genre include Waxwork，，，，Hellraiser III: Hell on 地球， 和Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat。
"It wasn't intentional; I love horror, it's my favorite genre. I guess I got sidetracked into the low-budget action genre. I had a big mortgage to pay and I was being offered these movies one after the other, and I love to shoot, so," Hickox explained.
At the time of the interview, Hickox was in the process of going back to horror, making the 2004 film, 刀边。 He continued of the action movies, "I must say I do enjoy blowing [expletive] up! But it was beginning to get a little mind numbing, especially the one I did with[Steven Seagal]; I just decided 'I can't do this [expletive] anymore.'"
Seagal was a "nightmare" to work with.
Hickox went on to describe his experience working with Seagal on the movie 湮。
"He is a nightmare!" Hickox said. "He's impossible; he doesn't turn up, he refuses to say any line that's written, it's just ridiculous. I sat back when I was making it and said, 'I'm a better director than this,' so I went back to what I like to do, which is write and direct horror."
The interviewer joked that Seagal was to thank for Hickox's return to horror, and the director said, "Things happen in strange ways, you know? I'd probably be doing a [Jean-Claude] Van Damme picture now if I hadn't done the Seagal one, so we'd be thanking Van Damme (laughs)."

Hickox blamed Seagal for the movie's failure.
In an interview with The Shlock Pit, Hickox spoke in more detail about what went wrong on the set of 湮。 He claimed that the original script was "brilliant."
"It started life as a full-on horror and sci-fi," he said. "I just thought wouldn't it be great if you were stuck at the bottom of the ocean with [expletive] aliens on your submarine! … And then Seagal came on board."
"We'd planned everything and he was like, 'I don't think this movie should be on a submarine.' Erm, but it's called 湮 and it is on a submarine! And then he was like, 'But I want a big opera scene'—I mean, this is literally how it happened—'I want an opera scene.' But, you're on a submarine! 'Yeah, well, I've decided I don't like aliens and I don't like monsters, and I don't want to be in a monster movie.' And basically that's why it ended up like it did. We had no clue what we were doing: no script, and the whole mind control thing in the final film was made up the last week before shooting. It was really insane. At that point, again, I should have quit, but I needed the cash."

When it comes to being difficult on set, one of the most publicized instances was Seagal's time hosting 周六夜现场 in 1991. The actor was reportedly banned from the show afterward and multiple cast members have spoken out about the experience. SNL 创造者Lorne Michaels 甚至在未来的一集中对Seagal发表了评论。 什么时候 尼古拉斯·凯奇 这位明星于1992年主持，在他的独白中说，观众可能认为他是“有史以来最大的混蛋”。 迈克尔斯回答：“不，不。那将是史蒂文·西格尔。”
