Gofrixty [29 July 2025] – Michael Madsen Dead At 67 Hollywood bad boy Michael Madsen has died at the age of 67 in July 2025. He passed away of cardiac arrest at his Malibu home. His death stunned fans and actors around the world.
Madsen who got his start in the early 1980s, has starred in over 200 films. He rose to TV fame as Mr. Blonde in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs (1992). That role made him a cult figure and won him accolades for his daring, unapologetic acting. He subsequently re-joined up with Tarantino to collaborate on Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, as Budd, a burned-out hitman with a sinister past.
Madsen was frequently cast by directors for his intensity, danger and mystery, and he found early success in many small roles. He portrayed gangsters, hitmen and antiheroes — and always brought something new to the screen. Fans also appreciated him for being himself and not getting lost in the Hollywood glare. He went for real, gritty characters instead of glammed-up parts.
