Actor Michael Madsen, known for his role in “Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill,” has died at the age of 67 years.

Madsen’s death was confirmed Thursday by his public relations, Liz Rodriguez.

Madsen was found not responsive Thursday morning at his home in Malibu, California, and was believed to have died of heart arrest, Rodriguez told ABC News.

“In the last two years, Michael Madsen has done a number of extraordinary jobs with independent films including the features of the film Resurrection Road, concessions, and cooked books that will come for Southern Housewives, and really look forward to the next chapter in his life,” Rodriguez said in a statement written by Madsen manager, Susan Ferris and Ron Smith. “Michael is also preparing to release a new book titled ‘TEARS FOR MY FATHER: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems,’ is currently being edited.”

The statement continued, “Michael Madsen is one of the most iconic Hollywood actors, which will be missed by many people.”

Madsen has a career for decades in Hollywood which includes roles in more than 300 films, including some that are still produced, according to IMDB page.

Born on September 25, 1957, the actor’s first acting role was in 1982 Edward T. McDougal directed by the film “Against All Hope”, where he played the main role of a man who struggled with alcoholism who switched to respect to asking for help.

He continued to get more roles on all television and films, including the 1985 TV series, “Our Family Honor,” and the film directed by Ridley Scott 1991 “Thelma and Louise,” which he starred in Brad Pitt, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis.

In 1992 he starred in the film directed by his first Quentin Tarantino, “Reservoir Dogs” as Mr. Blonde/vic. The film follows the wrong theft of jewelry and also starred in the Roth and Harvey Keitel team.

Madsen spoke with ABC News in 2017 at the Tribeca Film Festival for the 25th anniversary of “Reservoir Dogs” and said he was “very lucky and very blessed” in the film.

“I have a great director and I have a good script,” he said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m still very young. That is one of my first photos. He (Tarantino) let me develop a little.”

The iconic dance scene that he conveyed in the film to “Stuck in the Middle with You,” Madsen said he “was in place.”

“Honestly, I don’t know what to do,” he said. “And he (Tarantino) never made me train him because I was intimidated by him. Because I am not a dancer. And I started thinking about this Jimmy (James) Cagney film that I watched – about college or something, and he did this little dance and came to my head right before I had to do it.

His role as Mr. Blonde is the first of many tough people he played in Tarantino films from Budd alias Sidewinder in the three films “Kill Bill”, Sheriff Hackett about the law of bounty in “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” and Joe Gage in “The Hateful Eight.”

When talking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2018, Madsen reflected In his career in Hollywood and the role he played and called fame as “two -edged sword.”

“There are many blessings but there are also many heavy things that accompany it,” he said. “I think it’s a lot of relationships with the characters that I play. I think I am more trusted than it should. I think people are really afraid of me. They see me and leave:” Holy —, there is that person! “But I’m not that man.

He added, “When I don’t make a movie, I am at home, with pajamas, watching Rifleman on TV, hopefully with my 12-year-old child makes me a cheeseburger. I am sure I have my festive days, but sooner or later you have to forget it and continue.”

Madsen has been married three times. She was first married to an actress “General Hospital” Georganne Lapiere from 1984 to 1988. She later married actress Jeannine Bisignano in 1991. Both divorced in 1995. They shared two sons together: Christian and Max.

In 1996, she married actress Deanna Madsen had three sons together: Calvin, Luke and Hudson Madsen.

In 2022, Madsen suffered a personal tragedy when his son, Hudson Madsen, who was 26 years old, died of suicide. Madsen said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times After the death of his son, he tried to “make sense” about it.

“I was surprised because my son, who I just spoken up a few days ago, said he was happy – my last text from him was ‘I love you father,'” Madsen said in a statement to The Times. “I don’t see signs of depression. Very tragic and sad. I’m just trying to understand everything and understand what is happening.”

Two years after the death of Hudson Madsen, the actor filed a divorce from Deanna Madsen.
