Steven Seagal $330,000 Behind In Taxes

Steven Seagal is "Hard to Kill." It's even harder to get him to squeeze out a thin dime toward the state of California's tab.

The rotund '90s action icon has had one serious lien filed against him by the state called a long-running tab due, TMZ reports.

Los Angeles County Recorder's Office documents obtained by the site claim the soft-spoken, eccentric former star owes a grand total of $335,606.35 dating back to the 2010 tax year. Yikes.

Here's a fair question asked by TMZ: how does an actor who's been almost exclusively a direct-to-video mainstay over the past 10 years rack up a bill like that? Where, exactly, is the money coming from that the Golden State is taxing so heavily? Seagal's most successful recent turns have been as a villain - conspicuously shot mostly from the chest up, to downplay his expanding gut - Robert Rodriguez's 2010 action romp "Machete" and the "Steven Seagal: Lawman" basic-cable chronicles of the actor's tenure as a Jefferson Parish, Louisiana volunteer sheriff's deputy.

Equally fair question, which has never been satisfactorily answered: how does a 7th-dan Aikido black belt and action star let his belly so expand that he looks like he ate Snooki? Looking as round a mound as Seagal doesn't exactly accentuate the former word in "starving artist." Whatever are you eating, man?

More recently, Seagal has become somewhat of a mixed martial arts cult figure. He's a cage-side fixture at UFC events - particularly those headlined by Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva - and saw his notoriety receive a lift when a story came out that it was he who tutored Silva in the front kick the Brazilian used to score a first-round  Feb. 5, 2011, knockout of Vitor Belfort.

Come to think....hey, those aren't exactly cheap seats, either. C'mon, Glimmer Man: how many Mandarin-collar shirts and yellow-tinted sunglasses does a man really need? Or in your case, how many McNuggets per day?

The former "Under Siege" and "Above The Law" star was once asked to make a cameo in Sylvester Stallone's 2010 all-star action blockbuster "The Expendables" but declined because of past differences with producer Avi Lerner. Maybe if they make nice, Seagal could be talked into "The Expendables 3" - after all, there's been cursory talk of having a go at getting fellow tax-debtor  Wesley Snipes into the third franchise offering once Snipes has completed his own federal income tax evasion sentence.

Seagal did not return TMZ's requests for comment.
