Great actor.

Just saw this on the New Beverly Cinema FB page. What a loss. Always an awesome time when he was on screen.

This sucks. He's also Virginia Madsen's brother. RIP

[CSM101]

Terrible news. May he RIP

[An4h0ny]

Crap. What a loss to film.

R.I.P.

Vic Vega forever.

His performance as Budd in Kill Bill Vol. 2 was amazing, really elevated that role. Best character in the movie, easily. RIP.

Did he die last night? Okay, July 3rd, because last night I was watching his interview about Donnie Brasco, and how he walked into the room to meet Al Pacino. He didn't want to read for the part as Sonny Red, as he doesn't do well with reading scripts. They wanted him to meet Al and decide that way to play the role. It was his best role ever.

That was before he starred in Bloodrayne, which was a dialed in performance.

Michael Madsen starred in an episode of a ghost series, where he said his house was haunted. Interesting.

He seemed younger than I expected him to go at 67. Apparently from heart attack, but then another report of something else self-inflicted which could be false due to finances.

He was in a ton of movies.

[Winslow Leach]

RIP to a wonderful actor. His work in Reservoir Dogs was phenomenal.

[Maximux]

I liked that actor a lot

RIP buddy

[Prohibida]

Was shocked earlier. Cause I didn't read it in the headlines. Someone just broke it to me. I was like, what!? RIP.

[drb999]

This sucks. I always loved his work. RIP.

[L.J.]

R.I.P. such a good actor

[Gizz]

R.I.P. He was a good actor.

[morris_schaffer]

Rip

[spaceball-one]

God, he is so cool in Reservoir Dogs. I remember watching it with a couple of girls, the first time he says the "Are you gonna bark all day..." line, they almost slid off the couch.

[blubertt]

RIP Michael. He played some great roles over the years.

[un4gvn94538]

Damn, that blows

[Fat Phil]

Well. Shit.

The first thing I saw Michael in was Free Willy when I was a child and I vividly remember being completely enthralled by him. Impressive considering there was an actual killer whale hogging the limelight.

Legend. RIP.
