MICHAEL MADSEN ON RESERVOIR DOGS

LT as Joe Cabot

MICHAEL MADSEN played "Vic Vega" aka "Mr . Blonde" in Quentin Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS, a film in which every scene is memorable, as is each character, including "Joe Cabot," the tough boss of the anonymous thugs played by Noir legend LAWRENCE TIERNEY, who was known to be... not always happy on set...

How was it doing the scene in the office with the late Lawrence Tierney and Chris Penn?

MM as Vic Vega

Lawrence was angry and Chris and I were having fun. Lawrence didn't really like Quentin at that point. We did three wrestling takes. We broke a lot of stuff and kept going out of frame. Lawrence kept yelling at us because he wanted to go home. Finally the third one was the only one usable and that's the one in the movie. If you look at our close ups you can see how sweaty and out of breath we were because they did all three takes really fast. It was a long morning.

Tough guys Tierney & Madsen
