Warrant Issued for Kill Bill's Michael Madsen

After failing to appear in court, judge deems the actor a wanted man

This Reservoir Dog is in deep doo-doo.

Michael Madsen, the veteran character actor who's one of Quentin Tarantino's go-to guys, failed to appear in an L.A. court for a child and spousal support hearing last week. The judge found him in contempt. A warrant for his arrest, was issued this morning, with his bail set for $26,000.

Madsen, 53, allegedly owes $570,000 in unpaid support. Despite repeated efforts, there has been no comment from Madsen and his reps.

Best known for his roles in Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, Michael is also the brother of Academy Award-nominated Sideways star Virginia Madsen.
