Need to Separate an Author

There is a need to separate an author. For now, I don't know how to do it.

I've just added a film "Cathedrals of Culture" and one of its directors has the same name with the famous american actor Michael Madsen.

There is a Danish film director with the same name (born 1971): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1378517/

The above movie as well as "Into Eternity" have to be under his name in a separated page.

I mean, should be created Michael Madsen (I) and Michael Madsen (II).

Yes, I'll do it shortly

Edit: separated, added ddismbiguation, will check the remaining unassigned works and add some info to CK for (2)

Note to gilroy: The actor also writes poetry according to his bio, so it's probably not the third split

Definitely not. The Amazon blurb on the author of the Collected Poems describes him as "Actor, Poet and Photographer Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill Vol I & II, ESPN's Tilt)". So same person as the actor.

I got 2 of the unknowns, both the actor.

>2 SandraArdnas: Nice, thanks!

Can you tell me how to link Michael Madsen (2) directly from the movie page skipping the disambiguation page?

>7 mrblond: I recalculated both the author and the work, and now it works properly.

>4 lilithcat: Tarantino writing intros for them is also a safe hint

Thanks everyone who helped. Was away for a while, and when I returned everything was assigned already. Only Fool's Parade remains. Tagged as poetry by the single member who has it, but I haven't found it among the actor's poetry books, so I'm leaving it as is.

>6 Collectorator: What do you propose to do with that one?

What about it? I've combined it with another copy, and it's now linked to the director.

I can find no reference to Fool's Parade as by or with Madsen. There is a film of that name, but it's from 1971 and he's not listed in the cast, either on IMDb or Wikipedia. Perhaps it's the name of a poem contained within one of his books? But, yes, I'd leave it alone.
