Stephen Baldwin spoke to Madsen six months ago. Pretty nice send-off:

*Stephen gave him a nice tribute. Called him one of the ten best movie actors of his time.

RESERVOIR DOGS - Meet Vic Vega. Wow, what a great scene:

He sounds like he is about to die there from his breathing

Opti, I noticed that. He didn't look good.

Looked quite youthful in the movies. Aged pretty fast. His son committed suicide a few years ago, and I think it impacted him.

Yeah my dad was telling me he died. Madsen use to host a show on Speedvision called American Thunder. We use to watch it every week.

The movie that Michael references:

Man he sounds like he was a chain smoker. RIP

Hi, Mac. Yes, I think he smoked too much.

See the video I posted in #10. Michael was proud of his work in that movie, it was pretty good. He said that he gave up smoking/drinking for 3 months, and his portrayal of a prize-fighter is pretty good.

Go back and watch Michael's performance in this movie. He played a psycho-path and made the character look cool. Mr Blonde was easily the most memorable DOG.

Side-note: Chris Penn was also amazingly good in this movie. When Chris read the script, he wanted the role. Made it his own. Eddie and Vic were almost like brothers. Chris's performance also holds up very well years later.
