In an interview with AskMen, Steven Seagal – on his way back, thanks to his successful A&E Reality show, “Steven Seagal : Lawman” – sung the praises of his “Machete” director Robert Rodriguez.

“Rodriguez was once again an amazing, talented professional who is very creative and brilliant in his very different approach in not only directing but also filmmaking in general”, the 58-year-old actor said.

Seagal, whose next film is the DTV effort “A Dangerous Man”, says “Machete” is “another one of those pulp movies that Robert [Rodriguez] has created. I play a bad guy in the movie and Danny Trejo plays a good guy. And even though it’s larger than life and kind of crazy and wacky, in a way it also addresses sensitive issues such as racial profiling and prejudice and how people can and do work together in different situations. It was a fun movie for me to work on.”

Aside from “Machete”, Seagal’s looking forward to a second season of “Lawman” – should the network, and the public, demand one.

"If they ask me to and everybody's happy with it, I would be honored to do it again," Seagal tells Nola.com, noting that a second season would offer him an opportunity to correct some "bugs" he sees in the current episodes.

"It's a work in progress," said Seagal. "There are some bugs that need to be worked out, and I hope that it does work out. In my mind, I think everything is a work in progress. I'm just trying to make everybody happy, and hoping that somehow we can do that."
