MICHAEL MADSEN - MADSEN SUES FORMER TALENT AGENCY

Actor MICHAEL MADSEN has filed a $10 million (GBP5 million) lawsuit against his former agency - accusing them of seeking money he does not owe. The Sin City tough guy claims Innovative Artists has tried to collect commission for work he made after he quit the firm four years ago (03). Madsen filed the lawsuit on Wednesday (10Oct07) in Los Angeles Superior Court. In 2005 Innovative filed a petition against the actor, claiming they were owed commissions by Madsen. But in Madsen's lawsuit, he asks the court to halt the arbitration and to find he owes no commissions to the agency.
