- danso 1y agoRoger Ebert on Madsen’s breakout role in Reservoir Dogs: > One of the discoveries in the movie is Madsen, who has done a lot of acting over the years (he had a good role in “The Natural“) but here emerges with the kind of really menacing screen presence only a few actors achieve; he can hold his own with the fearsome Tierney, and reminds me a little of a very mean Robert De Niro.

- StopTheWorld 1y agoCan't forget his appearance at the beginning of the classic hacker movie, WarGames.
- genghisjahn 1y agoMy kids and I use that phrase "THAT'S NOT THE CORRECT PROCEDURE!" whenever one of us isn't doing what we're supposed to.
- bombcar 1y agoReminds me of college days; we had a bit of tradition of changing Windows error sounds when the owner wasn’t looking. Depending on which sound you chose it could be weeks or months until they hit it. So maybe …
- matt-attack 1y ago“Turn your key sir.” Always stuck with me.
- anon7725 1y agoI rewatched WarGames recently. It holds up and is worth watching again. In particular with our current concerns over AI it feels ahead of its time.
- somenameforme 1y agoThe interesting thing is that I think WarGames was likely [heavily] inspired by Colossus: The Forbin Project [1], released in 1970! It too, holds up extremely well.

- donatj 1y agoIt's truly fascinating that someone can be in 300 plus movies and I, a film buff, can have only heard of maybe ten of them.
- 0x445442 1y agoMy two favorite characters of his were Budd and The Matadore.
- n1b0m 1y agoTorture you? That's a good idea. I like that.
- linotype 1y agoCardiac arrest, ooof. RIP.
- wileydragonfly 1y agoEveryone dies of cardiac arrest
- myvoiceismypass 1y agoI was just watching Donnie Brasco earlier this week. He was so awesome as Sonny Black (great movie if you have never seen, true story undercover mob fbi story)!

- ferociouskite56 1y agoHe was funny in Vengeance Unlimited season 1 episode 15 "Stay tuned. It's gonna get stranger."
- ViktorRay 1y agoDude had a unique presence in the films he was in. Highly memorable characters. Rest in peace.
- fumeux_fume 1y ago“Wrap your lips around this.” Often gets quoted in our household when serving a drink. RIP MM.
- timbo1642 1y agoHe was a cool guy. He used to come to my workplace more than a decade ago when I worked there and was always pleasant. He would always talk to a few of us (mostly my boss) and joke around. Sad to see him go
- windowshopping 1y agoWhy is THIS comment flagged/dead? What is going on in this thread
- hobbitstan 1y agoThat sucks, I just watched him on the One Bad Movie podcast. He had a great story about Pacino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjth0fhAhSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjth0fhAhSI
- windowshopping 1y agoWhy is this flagged/dead? Perfectly normal comment, isn't it?
- ekianjo 1y agohe was great in Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. shocking to see him go so soon
- monster_truck 1y agoHe was fantastic on film, no doubt about it. But his work as Toni Cipriani in Grand Theft Auto 3 was what I always remembered him for. Bumped into him while I was at the beach on vacation forever ago. I was pretty lit and couldn't remember his real name so I said "ayyyyy Toni!" He picked up on it immediately and did the "do you know who I am? I'll beat the shit outta you for this!" RIP
- Dazzler5648 1y agoLast night, only hours before he died, I chose to watch Thelma and Louise. I was really struck by his character this time around, particularly in the diner and motel scenes. He absolutely nailed a male archetype I’m familiar with as a woman: the un-self-aware douche, and he managed it with Susan Sarandon staring at him. Chef's kiss and RIP you gorgeous thing.
- masteruvpuppetz 1y agoHuh! sold his Hattori Hanzō sword in a pawn shop /s Good actor
- fithisux 1y agoI remember him for Species RIP
- bigtex 1y agoHe did a short lived tv show about helping people out and then the stipulation was you had to be available when he needed you. It was a great concept but I think it lasted one season.
- lofaszvanitt 1y agoAnd Hollywood couldn't write shit for him since ages... of course now everyone was best friends with him. The hypocrisy of this is stellar level bs. This is what they do. Elevate someone into the stratosphere and then let him fall and splatter on the concrete or just wath him wither away. That's why David Lynch eloquently said that Hollywood is H E L L itself. Yuck.
