Warrant Issued for Michael Madsen's Arrest

By Christine Fenno Posted Mar 13th 2011 12:40PM

Tough-guy actor Michael Madsen ('Kill Bill,' 'Reservoir Dogs') is a wanted man.

Madsen, 53, allegedly owes an estimated $570,000 in child and spousal support, according to a new report from TMZ.

A warrant has now been issued for his arrest, as legal documents show he failed to appear for a hearing last week in his ongoing child/spousal support case.

When Madsen, who is the brother of Oscar nominee Virginia Madsen, was a no-show in court, the judge issued the warrant. Police are looking for Madsen now; bail has reportedly already been set at $26,000.

Earlier this month, Madsen turned up in New York City for a screening to celebrate the DVD release of 'The Bleeding,' an action-vampire flick he shot in 2009 with co-stars Armand Assante and Kat Von D.

Over the years, the father of five has been married three times, to Georganne LaPiere (Cher's sister), Jeannine Bisignano and his current wife, Deanna Morgan.

In the red financially for some time now, the actor filed bankruptcy back in 2009, with documents showing he was unable to pay personal loans from both Pierce Brosnan ($25,000) and Quentin Tarantino ($1 million).

If Mr. Sheen's lawyers didn't advise him to glue his lips together, he needs new lawyers.

I don't give a crap about his personal financial trouble, that's his business. Of course, anyone who could play a psycho killer as scarily as he did in Reservoir Dogs maybe has a little bit of behavior problems affecting his judgement.

I had first seen him as an officer in War Games. I next saw him as Louises'love in Thelma & Louise. He's had his share of rough times. I wish him the very best of luck.

while i agree with child support (u help make it u help pay for it), spousal support is a crock. GET A JOB WOMEN STOP USING MARRIAGES AS AN EXCUSE TO GET A PAYCHECK!

Do you not think that we are tierd of bit the Sheen BS and the Lohan BS. every time you publish crap about them it just helps validate them, ignore them and they may just go away, your coverage as with other media coverage of both of them is tiresome,and the same crap everyday. Give the world a break. just ignore both of them. Who cares..

What do they do with their money? Geeze, I could live the rest of my life on what they make for 1 movie. Of course, I don't drink, snort coke, do drugs or have groupies and hanger's on. I can balance my own check book, etc.

After Tarantino made this talentless slob's career, he defaults on a million dollar loan. What a loser. Looks like no more choice roles for Madsen in a QT flick.

By XLMB

I don't know what his bankruptcy has to do with child support. Can't bankrupt that. As for Lisa Kelly I don't understand and NEVER will why the hell someone drives under the influence. Want to kill yourself GO FOR IT!!! But don't put others in danger. Damn losers!!!!

By pat

Sheen has had more chances than ANYONE else I know to straighten out his nothing life!! His father even did an intervention. He has been in jail numerous times but as most celebrities has been let go way too early!! There is a time when the only thing to do is let him fall on his face!! He deserves NO sympathy. I would not let my children near this obnoxious idiot either!

By sherylynne

It doesn't matter what the "actor's" name is. If they are an actor in Hollywood, playing make believe for a living, they have issues. It is a rare find when an actor can separate acting from reality and is grounded in being his/her true self. Anyone in Hollywood who "loans" a million dollars to an actor, and not a seeded one at that, is delusional if they really believe they will be paid back. Write it off as a charitable contribution. In the real world, 99% of them are losers.

Nothing but a looser!!!!!!!!

Huh, he sounds a lot like a regular human being with issues, you just don't hear the drama unless people are famous. I bet Charlie is sorry he can't live up to your perfect expectations. And I'm SURE you or anyone of your friends have never made any mistakes or bad decisions. The children are safe, the show was canceled, so why is anybody concerned anymore.

I looked at all 63 mug shots. Some of those folks are DEAD!! Why list dead people and those that were booked 6 or more years ago?
