Actor Steven Seagal — famous for a 1990s run of Kung-fu movies — has been appointed “special emissary” from Russia to the United States, and tasked with improving relations between the two countries.
Seagal, who is not just a martial arts master but also a close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin (and a Russian citizen, thanks to a special decree from Putin conferred last year), is tasked with working “in the humanitarian sphere,” and reaching out to Americans “in the sphere of culture, public and youth exchanges,” CNN reports.
