- Actor associated with Tarantino's filmography apprehended once more
Michael Madsen, age 66, was detained over the weekend. The police in Malibu took the actor, famous for his roles in Quentin Tarantino's movies, into custody under suspicion of domestic violence. Allegedly, his spouse, DeAnna Madsen, 64, was the victim. In response to the incident, a representative for the actor stated to US publication 'Variety', "It was a disagreement between Michael and his wife, and we hope it ends well for both of them." After posting a $20,000 bail, Madsen was released.
Previous Encounter with the Law
This wasn't Michael Madsen's first brush with the law. In February 2022, he was apprehended on charges of trespassing on private property. Police officers apprehended him at his Malibu residence and led him away in handcuffs.
Madsen spent four days in prison back in 2019 following a DUI incident. He was sentenced to five years of probation. He was also taken into custody for DUI in 2012 and was required to complete a 30-day rehabilitation program.
Right before the 2022 trespassing incident, Madsen experienced a heartbreaking loss. His son, Hudson, passed away at the age of 26. Madsen has been married to DeAnna Madsen since 1996 and together they share two other sons. Known for his role as "Reservoir Dogs" star.
Frequent Collaborator with Tarantino
Madsen has appeared in numerous Quentin Tarantino films, including "Reservoir Dogs", "Kill Bill", and "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood". He also starred in "Thelma & Louise" and "James Bond 007 - Die Another Day".
I'm not defending his actions, but considering his past, this might be another unfortunate misunderstanding for Michael Madsen. Despite his numerous legal issues, he has always managed to return to his acting career.
