Michael Madsen felt like he was "coming home" while making his new movie.

The 'Reservoir Dogs' actor loved getting the change to film Strength and Honour' in Ireland but admits he struggled to get to grips with mastering a local accent, despite his Irish roots.

He said: "I play an Irish prize fighter in the film. We made it in Ireland, which was beautiful. My mother was Danish-Irish, so I kind of felt as if I was coming home.

"I had to do an Irish accent and the local people were my worst critics. I didn't have a voice coach, I just picked it up. They told me I was quite good at it."

Despite his successes, Michael insists he still feels like an outsider in Hollywood.

He explained to Britain's Hello magazine: "You think that you've got to be an outsider, then you realise that by doing that, you've yourself outside. Finally you say, 'I am who I am and I'm happy.' I don't have any apologies to make or anything to complain about."
