Mr. Blonde could be an Honorable Mention in the Villian tourney. I think he was on the nomination list.

Don't know anything about Madsen, but he strikes me as a guy that lived life hard and would rather "burn out than fade away."

Just watched some previews from some recent films, his voice got really "gravely."

Something I learned today. Tarantino had planned to have Vic Vega (Mr. Blonde) in Pulp Fiction, but Madsen turned down the role to play Virgil Earp in Costner's Wyatt Earp movie. So John Travolta plays Vincent Vega instead, who is Vic Vega's brother.

I think you are referring to Mark Madsen rather than Michael Madsen

Obscure role that comes to mind for me is his role in My Bosses Daughter.

Guess the Black Mamba caught up with him IRL.

Oh ****. ****. I loved this guy in Kill Bill.

Yep, he was in WarGames.

Song gives my wife the heebie jeebies. RIP Mr Blonde:

Joe Gage is an underrated character, IMO. Loved his cameo in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood too.

His role in Donnie Brasco is an all timer for me

I think that's a fair assessment
