Michael Madsen, whose menacing characters in “Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill” made him a standout in Quentin Tarantino’s films, has died. He was 67.

Michael Madsen apparently went into cardiac arrest and was found unresponsive in his home in Malibu, California, on Thursday morning, according to his manager.

His sister Virginia Madsen posted a photo of them with her mom, writing in the caption, "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness"
