A bad guy’s bad guy.
It was the black Mamba all along.
OK, seriously, I thought he was already dead.
67? [checks birthday]
geeze!
I remember a story he told about a director wanting him to play a love scene with the actress Virginia Madsen. “She’s my sister!”
I thought he was younger as well. I just saw Wargames on tv a few weeks ago, “is that….?” Yes, it was.
He was on record saying he’d never go to a movie where she shows her breasts.
He’s the King of the Modern B movie, his IMDB lists him starring in over 300 movies, most of them with a rating under 6.0
He’s well aware of this though, I heard a radio interview with him over a decade ago where the hosts brought up his IMDB profile and he literally went through a big chunk of the list telling them stuff like “Okay I did this movie so I could get my car fixed, this movie so I could pay for a family members operation, this movie because it was only a single day of shooting for $20,000 etc.”
Hugh Hefner’s son Cooper hated the fact that there was a nude photograph of his mother hanging in the library of the mansion he lived in.
Madsen racked up dozens of screen credits.
Somewhere around 29 dozen. Journalism these days.
Michael Caine said about Jaws: The Revenge (1987), “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.”
No joke, I did too. (Pretty sure I was thinking of Tom Sizemore.)
Ah, yes. Me, too. Thank you!
His doctor said heart failure will be listed as the cause of death with heart disease and alcoholism named as contributing factors.
Oh man, Tom Sizemore is dead? I missed that.
I always liked him. Too bad about his personal problems.
I liked Michael Madsen, too. I see they were both (along with Virginia) in something called The Florentine. Never heard of it.
Yeah, Sizemore was in a lot of great movies throughout the 90s and early 00s. Always really solid.
But yeah unfortunately he apparently struggled with addiction since the age of 15. Unless you’re really lucky, you just can’t live that way forever. It’s gonna catch up.
I saw Sigourney Weaver on a talk show where the host asked her why she chose to star in Alien Resurrection. She said, well, they backed a dump truck full of cash up to my house…
“That’s two gross!”
“Nothing is too gross for journalists these days.”
Cue Stealers Wheel.
Listen kid, I’m not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don’t give a good fuck what you know, or don’t know, but I’m gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It’s amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I’ve heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain’t gonna get.
