Michael Madsen has left us. I always enjoyed his roles. He had a way that no other actor (at least, for me) had in making one think that, yeah, that's an asshole right there, but maybe, just maybe, there is something good in there, something relatable and likable. I always thought that his characters were struggling with decency, but just couldn't pull out of the quagmire. Well, maybe not Mr. Blonde. He embraced the cruelty.
Above is a drawing that I did of Madsen as Mr. Blonde back in 2013. I was experimenting with blank eyes during this time. This one sold a few years ago and the woman who bought loved the pose. Whew.
