Veteran screen actor Michael Madsen has passed at age 67. Widely known for his iconic role in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, you’ve no doubt seen Madsen in countless films and shows stretching back to the ’80s. He was a go-to actor for playing hard dudes, but he secretly relished playing nice guys like his turn in Thelma & Louise. As is always the case, you can get the best feel for Madsen’s career by checking out his Random Roles interview, where he opens up about how he randomly fell into acting and had no delusions about following in his sister Virginia’s footsteps.

Ellesfena found a litfic book she liked, Flashlight by Susan Choi, but she isn’t sure who she would recommend it to. “I don’t know why [literary fiction] has to be so aggressively depressing…On the other hand, it’s about modern Korean history, which is one of my favorite things to read about.” Do you have any Korean American books to recommend?
