 * ... that although Christian Madsen is the son of actor Michael Madsen, it was his grandmother who encouraged him to pursue a career in acting?

 * Aside from mentioning his aunt, the "Personal life" section mostly repeats information from earlier in the article and has less detail about his personal life than the "Life and career" section . It isn't required to met the character count for DYK, so if you think it is important to mention his aunt, why not roll it into the previous section? ("Personal life" should really be dedicated to information on how he has an on/off relationship with a member of the cast of "Glee", when he did the ice bucket challenge, what date his naked selfies were hacked and posted online, and how his pet has its own Twitter feed.)

 * Un/fortunately (you decide) I was unable to find his cat's Twitter page, so the section is gone. 97198 (talk) 13:44, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Age and length OK; neutral; no copyvio, close-paraphrasing or plagiarism; cited throughout; QPQ done; hook fact is cited (it is more simplistic than explained in the article, but we aren't trying to get the whole background to the article in the hook). It would have been more exciting if his cat did have Twitter, but there you go, we have to work with what we've got. Ready to go. Belle (talk) 15:45, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
