Actor Michael Madsen, known for his roles in Quentin Tarantino’s films “Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill”, died Thursday from a heart attack at the age of 67, his agents announced.
In addition to 40 years of career, Michael Madsen appeared in more than 300 productions.
His most striking roles remain that of Mr. Blonde, criminal psychopath in “Reservoir Dogs” (1992), and Budd, the little brother of the villain of the two aspects of “Kill Bill” (2003 and 2004).

Quentin Tarantino appreciated him very much and told him roles in his western “the eight bastards” (2015) and in “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” (2019).
The actor had to play the role of Vincent Vega in “Pulp Fiction” (1994), but he has given way to John Travolta to embody the famous hitman.
Michael Madsen still appeared in “Donnie Brasco” (1997), “Thelma & Louise” (1991), “Sin City” (2005) and James Bond “Meurs another day” (2002).
