I had assumed that he had died several times in the past but was always pleasantly surprised that he was still on this earthy plane.

RIP.

I thought he had already died but I must have been thinking of Tom Sizemore.

I feel like this came out of nowhere, very bummed to see this. Dude had a hell of a career, and obviously his work with Tarantino is legendary.
RIP to him.

Only few actors exuded coolness as well as Madsen. Even when he played unhinged
murderous characters like in Reservoir Dogs.

I would say Budd in Kill Bill Vol. 2 is his best. Probably my favorite of the list in both films. Most relatable. Which says a lot because the Japan stuff is epic. Also I like how with all the ninja armies the Bride cut through. His character subdued her by just being ready with his shotgun.

He also has several video games VO roles he clearly didn't care about while he was recording them.
He was reading his lines like he was reading a phone book aloud.

R.I.P.
Decent actor when he was actually onscreen.
