Seagal’s wikipedia page reads like he’s in the running for biggest shitbag actor award.

Emphasis added for clarity.

Hey man, he sometimes stands up in his latest movies.

SFX have gotten so good that you can barely hear the grunting.

Wouldn't even have to use SFX to be convincing. Just dump a few hundred pounds of dog shit on a little trolley, put a stupid toupee on top, and wheel it around slowly on some rope. Nobody would tell the difference.

They really are good at painting out wire work in movies these days.

I hope that's not the case. One example in this video someone posted the other day, he's doing a sex scene sat down and fully clothed. He's basically a marionette at this point.
