Actor Steven Seagal recently joined Russia's A Just Russia - Patriots - For Truth party where he will focus on environmental issues.
U.S.-born actor Steven Seagal, who is also a Russian citizen, cannot run for Russian political office since he retains his U.S. citizenship, according to a pro-Kremlin party that announced Seagal had officially joined them Saturday.
The party previously told Russian news agency TASS that Seagal could not run for the lower house of Russia's parliament, the State Duma, due to his U.S. citizenship. The party is in control of a faction in the State Duma and is planning on participating in a parliamentary election in September, Reuters reported.
