Birth Name:

Steven Seagal

Birth Place:

Lansing, Michigan, USA

Ethnicity:

Irish, Mongolian and Jewish-Russian

The Film director and actor was born to an Irish Catholic mother, Patricia and a Jewish Russian father, Stephen. Seagal also has a Mongolian grandfather who was either of Kalmyk or Buryat descent. Seagal mentioned this in a Russian interview.

Rumor has it that Seagal once claimed to be half-Italian, perhaps to better associate with the mob. He was born in Lansing Michiga and grew up in California where he first learned martial arts.

He lived in Japan for a number of years and speaks Japanese fluently. He was married to a Japanese woman and has two children by her. He is also a devout Buddhist.

seems he got good parts from both race, caucasian and east asian. a tall and wide body from caucasian side, some stoic facial parts from east asian side. that mixed looks flatters him the martial artist actor.
