He is so chilly and calculated, we all know there’s one thing brewing beneath him.
2. Budd in Kill Invoice: Quantity 1 & 2 (2003-2004)
I wished to place this at primary, however nostalgia acquired in the best way. I believe he ought to have been nominated for an Oscar enjoying Budd. there’s a lot chagrin and depth to him as Invoice’s brother. He is a man who is aware of he deserves what’s coming to him. His efficiency is layered with a way of world-weariness that makes his character each pathetic and unusually sympathetic.

I believe this can be a very underrated film, and his efficiency towards Al Pacino and Johnny Depp really stands out as the very best within the film. He performs a hot-headed and impressive mobster with fervor and a unstable vitality. Actually, his nervousness is a stand-in for the viewers who’s all the time on the sting of their seats ready to see what occurs subsequent.

5. Glen Greenwood in Free Willy (1993)
It was so humorous to see Madsen in a children film the place he’s a Dad who’s simply rrying to be there for his adopted son. His guiding presence and secure hand was really fairly cool casting, since you imagine he can relate to a ‘unhealthy child’ and has knowledge.
6. Joe Gage in The Hateful Eight (2015)
In his third main collaboration with Tarantino, Madsen joins an ensemble solid because the mysterious and quiet Joe Gage. Whereas not as flashy as a few of his different roles, Madsen’s efficiency is a examine in quiet depth. He is one other man who provides to the powder keg we’re ready to blow up.
7. Preston “Press” Lennox in Species (1995)
Look, this can be a responsible pleasure film for me. As a part of that, it’s simply Madsen having enjoyable as a authorities agent tasked with looking down a lethal alien-human hybrid. He for certain understands the form of film he is in and performs all the pieces straight.
8. Virgil Earp in Wyatt Earp (1994)
On this epic Western, Madsen portrays Virgil Earp, the older brother of the legendary lawman. This seems like a job he was born to play. He brings a way of obligation and stoicism to the position.
9. Bob in Sin Metropolis (2005)
Although a smaller position on this visually gorgeous neo-noir anthology, Madsen’s presence as Bob, the companion of detective Hartigan, is memorable. Madsen is a man who belongs in a noir world, and seeing him shine on this one, albeit for moments, certifies it.
10. Tom Baker in The Doorways (1991)
In Oliver Stone’s biopic concerning the iconic rock band, Madsen performs Tom Baker, a journalist and pal of Jim Morrison. His efficiency captures the hedonistic and infrequently chaotic spirit of the period.
