Here are some excerpts from Michael's Christmas Message to his fans:
Dear Fans,
First of all I’d like to say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and being that its only the first of December, perhaps I’ll be the first one from whom you receive that message. It’s been a very long year and I really would not know where to start. Other than to say -- I most certainly have neglected my website which I hope to bring up to date starting with this letter.
I’ve been shooting a television series for ESPN called “TILT". in which I play a world champion poker player nicknamed “The Matador”. I never had any idea how interesting and complex the world of cards and gambling actually is. I’ve been reading a lot of books doing the best I can to learn the game of the character that I portray. ESPN has very high hopes for the show and I think it has a very good chance of being on the air for a long time.
I’m about half way finished with a fourth book but have been so busy with “Tilt” I haven’t been able to get it finished. The title will be “When Pets Kill” which is based on one of the poems about our beloved bulldog Rocko who was mauled to death at a kennel while I was in London, still trying to get someone interested in finishing Red Light Runners”, which if anyone remembers was the film I shot half of with Harvey Keitel, directed by Nick Egan. There have been rumors that it may come together with some Russian financing sometime in ‘05.
Looking forward to happy holidays with my wife, my children and the rest of my family.
I’ll have to get to my rating system of how I feel about the last few projects after the first of the year; so I guess that’s it for now.
Happy New Year and God Bless and hope to remain, truly yours,
Michael Madsen!
