Michael Madsen, known for his tough-guy roles in films like *Reservoir Dogs* and *Kill Bill*, has died at age 67. His publicist, Liz Rodriguez, confirmed he was found unresponsive in his Malibu home after suffering a heart collapse. He was pronounced dead at 8:25 AM, with no foul play suspected.

Madsen’s managers shared that he had been actively working on independent films, including *Resurrection Road*, *Concessions*, and *Cookbook for Southern Housewives*. He was also preparing a new poetry book, *Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems*. They stated, “Michael was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life.”

Best known for his collaborations with Quentin Tarantino, Madsen gained recognition for his roles in *The Hateful Eight*, *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*, and especially *Reservoir Dogs*, where Roger Ebert praised his “really menacing screen presence.”

Beyond film, he voiced characters in video games like *Grand Theft Auto* and *Dishonored*.

Tributes poured in, including from *Captain America* co-director Joe Russo, who said, “Michael Madsen ALWAYS had bite. RIP.” As his managers said, “He will be missed by many.”
