Michael Madsen, the rough-and-tumble actor best known for his work in the Quentin Tarantino films Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, died Thursday morning. He was 67.

Madsen was found unresponsive by deputies responding to a 911 call at his Malibu home and pronounced dead at 8:25 a.m., a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.

Liz Rodriguez, his rep at EMR Media Entertainment, told THR that “we understand Michael had a cardiac arrest.”

RIP. I liked him in any role.

Yep, until the last few years anyway. In some real stinkers. You could tell he was probably on hired for his name and likely only spent a day filming.

Kill Bill Vol 2

Great scene

[Zathras]

I agree.
There is more here than “he died”.
The guy seemed broken inside.

About 11 years in the rear view mirror. 😳👍

I will be 68 on December 16; this is the year of my life that my body has shown the most signs of deterioration; oh well, I guess old age isn’t that far off

I want his Yellow Coupe De Ville used in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Mamdani Brasco

Yup, there, I ruined it for ya.

I hope they play “Stuck in the Middle With You” at his funeral.

[BHI2025]

Fabulous in Crime Story.

Michael Madsen was perfect as the mysterious Mr. Chapel in one of the great single season shows ever, Vengeance Unlimited.

i have no recollection of him being in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” (great movie!). He must have had a tiny (cameo?) role.

Anything under 10,000 is pretty much adolescence.

“His sister Virginia was really hot, back in the 80’s.”

Yes, cf. “Candyman” era.

Whoa ...

He wasn't the greatest actor in the world, but he had presence. When he was on screen, all eyes were on him.

His best performance was in Kill Bill Vol. II, imo, as Bill's brother Budd.

"That woman, deserves her revenge and... we deserve to die."

Loved him in Thelma and Louise as Jimmy.

Too young, too young.

I always wanted to cast Michael Madsen and Mads Mikkelsen in the same movie. Now that will never happen.

A couple of names I would add to that list would be the late Tom Sizemore, and Linda Hamilton.

Looks like I have a lot of growing up to do. That could be fun though.
