Kristoffer Kristian "Kris" Kristofferson (born June 22, 1936) is an American musician, actor, and writer. He is known for hits such as "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", and "Help Me Make It Through the Night". Kristofferson is the sole writer of most of his songs, but he has collaborated with various other figures of the Nashville scene such as Shel Silverstein...(Wikipedia)
Madsen began his film career as a small role in the film WarGames. He made various other appearances in films before being casted as Mr. Blonde in Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. The film brought Madsen attention among critics and fans. Subsequently, Madsen was cast in a variety of major studio films, including Free Willy, Donnie Brasco, Kill Bill, and Sin City. He is well known for his generosity and kindness. In 2002, he was presented an award for his work with the Shriners Hospital For Children
While often remembered for the violent aspects of some of his films, Sam Peckinpah's works should also be appreciated as highly complex and brilliantly directed morality plays. While his shootouts and battle scenes may have been groundbreaking, his knack for developing characters and telling intricate stories was equally remarkable.
