Difficult Actors to Work With12 of 48
Steven Seagal
Is known for being perhaps the rudest and most unbearable person to work with in all of Hollywood, with stories of his transgressions ranging from sexual assault to physical assault to just being rude and unpleasant.
Seagal sexually harassed three different producers during the filming of Out for Justice (1991) and was rude to co-star Julianna Margulies.
He was also famously banned from Saturday Night Live (1975) after hosting in 1991. Many cast members and writers have testified that he was very hostile throughout the whole week his episode was in production. He was later dubbed the 'worst host ever' by series creator Lorne Michaels.
He also harassed Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg during an audition for Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995), asking her to undress for him.
During the filming of On Deadly Ground (1994), Seagal knocked co-star Sven-Ole Thorsen unconscious and, most egregiously, allegedly raped uncredited extra, Regina 'Peachy' Simons, following the production of the film.
During the filming of Executive Decision (1996), Seagal physically assaulted co-star John Leguizamo, shoving him against a wall and knocking the wind out of his lungs.
He also sexually assaulted Rachel Grant during pre-production of Out for a Kill (2003), exposing himself to her and pulling down her top. Grant was fired from the production after rebuffing Seagal's advances.
Portia de Rossi has also claimed Seagal sexually harassed her during an audition for an undisclosed film.
He has also been accused by many stuntmen, such as Gene LeBell, Kane Hodder, Peter Kent, and Mike Leeder, of intentionally hitting and kicking them as hard as possible on the sets of various films.
