I have always wondered where the actor Steven Seagal was, has he has been very quiet in the movie world. Online news has seen a trend of Actors from Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood industry taking a step into politics.
Russia appointed actor Steven Seagal as a "special representative" on US-Russian humanitarian ties, the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in statement on its official Facebook page Saturday.
According to the statement, the action star's role will be to promote US-Russia relations "in the humanitarian sphere," adding that the role will include collaboration "in the sphere of culture, public and youth exchanges."
The foreign ministry said the unpaid role will be similar to the United Nations' goodwill ambassador positions.
Seagal, who became a Russian citizen in 2016, is a close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He attended Putin's recent swearing-in ceremony in May.
