NBC News reported:
Michael Madsen, the gravel-voiced character actor best known for playing sneering tough guys in Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill: Vol. 2,” died Thursday morning from cardiac arrest, according to his manager, Ron Smith.
He was 67.
In an acting career spanning more than 40 years, Madsen racked up dozens of screen roles. But he was best known for his collaborations with Tarantino, who cast him as a psychotic thief in “Reservoir Dogs” and a washed-up hitman in “Kill Bill: Vol. 2.”
“Reservoir Dogs,” one of the seminal independent films of the 1990s, shocked audiences with its graphic violence, including a scene in which Madsen’s character, Mr. Blonde, cuts off a police officer’s ear while dancing to “Stuck in the Middle With You.”
