An indictment filed last year identified Nasso as a Gambino associate and alleged that he turned to the family to help him settle the score with Seagal.

The actor said while testifying earlier this year that at a meeting at a Brooklyn steakhouse in 2000, Ciccone and other Gambino enforcers demanded that Seagal keep working with Nasso and pay him $150,000 per film.

Afterward, Nasso told Seagal, "If you would have said the wrong thing, they would have killed you," according to the actor.

Surveillance tapes later captured Ciccone and other mobsters chuckling over how "petrified" Seagal looked.

"I wish we had a gun with us," one said. "That would have been funny."

Said another: "It was like out of the movies."

Almost Marked for Death.

I take it these goons didn't know Seagal's real background. He was the 1st American to ever be allowed to run a martial arts school in Japan. They would have needed those guns, and probably 30 feet of distance to keep from getting hurt, if he'd really wanted to do something.
