Michael Madsen, one of the greatest tough-guy actors of his generation and a favorite collaborator of director Quentin Tarantino, has passed away. According to THR, the 67-year-old actor was found unresponsive at his Malibu home following a 911 call. Cardiac arrest is suspected.

He was perhaps the director’s most beloved recurring actor, appearing in Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, The Hateful Eight, and most recently in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Even before his breakout role in Reservoir Dogs, Madsen had made a name for himself as a reliable character actor, with early appearances in WarGames (including a memorable opening scene opposite the late John Spencer), The Natural, and Thelma & Louise, in which he played Susan Sarandon’s quiet, soft-spoken love interest.
