| I just saw that Michael Madsen passed away. I've only seen him in Thelma and Louise, but for some reason he made a huge impression on me when I first saw the film as a young teenager. I saw Jimmy as the epitome of masculinity, and SO gorgeous. |

| Agree. Remember him in Platoon?? So hot!! Sadly he had addiction issues which I am sure hurt his health even though I think he has been sober awhile. He also lost a son a few years back so life has been challenging for him. |

| Tarantino wrote the part of Jules in Pulp Fiction that eventually went to John Travolta because he had been so great in Reservoir Dogs. Madsen had a scheduling conflict. GREAT actor and OP is right he was fantastic in Thelma & Louise. |

| Jules was played by Samuel L. Jackson. Come on, people. |

Dammit yes I meant Vincent was written for Madsen. Vacation is rotting my brain. Jules was written for Laurence Fishburne who passed because it wasn’t a lead role. |

He was a good character actor.
Was great in "Beyond the Law" and "Kill Bill" movies. |

+1 There’s a document floating around the internet that has Tarantino’s list of choices for all the main characters in that movie. It’s really interesting. |

The emotion on his face just before he said the line, "They're brown."
Such a loss of such talent. |

| He was so good in Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, I'm not sure why Tarantino gave him so little to work with in Hateful 8. |

| His sisters tribute online was so poetic - really amazing sentiments that you don't often hear as it's so touching. |
