Madsen has five children, including actor Christian Madsen.
Early life
[edit]Madsen was born on September 25, 1958, in Chicago, Illinois. His mother, Elaine (née Melson), was a filmmaker and author. His father, Calvin Christian Madsen, was a World War II Navy veteran and a firefighter with the Chicago Fire Department.[2] His parents divorced in the 1960s, and his mother left the financial world to pursue a career in the arts, encouraged by film critic Roger Ebert. His siblings are Cheryl Madsen, an entrepreneur, and Academy Award nominee Virginia Madsen.[3] Madsen's paternal grandparents were Danish, while his mother is Irish and Native American.[4]
Career
[edit]

Madsen began working at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago, where he served as an apprentice under John Malkovich and appeared in a production of Of Mice and Men.[5]
His first notable film role was a small part for the science fiction film, WarGames. He appeared in John Dahl’s thriller Kill Me Again as criminal Vince Miller opposite Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley.[6] In Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut film Reservoir Dogs, Madsen played "Mr. Blonde", a cruel criminal. Steve Buscemi received the role of "Mr. Pink", which Madsen wanted because it had more scenes with Harvey Keitel.[5] For Pulp Fiction, Madsen declined the role of Vincent Vega, which went to John Travolta. Madsen starred in the crime film Donnie Brasco. He once said of his later choice of film roles: "Some of them I'm only in for 10 minutes, but they bought my name, and they bought my face to put on the DVD box with a gun. What people don't always understand is that I established a certain lifestyle for my family back in the days of Species and Mulholland Falls and The Getaway. I wasn't about to move my six kids into a trailer park. So when people offered me work, it wasn't always the best, but I had to buy groceries and I had to put gas in the car."[5]
Madsen played assassin Budd, the brother of Bill (David Carradine), in Kill Bill: Volume 2.[7] In 2004, Tarantino discussed an idea for the film to unite Madsen and Travolta, as The Vega Brothers.[8] In 2007, Tarantino said the film (which he intended to call Double V Vega) was "kind of unlikely now", because of the age of the actors and the onscreen deaths of both characters.[9]
Madsen appeared in Uwe Boll's BloodRayne, a film he described as "an abomination... It's a horrifying and preposterous movie."[10] He won Best Actor awards at the Boston Film Festival and New York International Independent Film and Video Festival for his performance in Strength and Honour. He played himself in the mockumentary Being Michael Madsen. Madsen co-starred in Coma, a Web series on Crackle.[11]
He played Jim Ricker, the old friend of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), in the eighth season of 24.[12] Madsen starred in the comedy film Let the Game Begin. On January 5, 2012, he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house, where he finished in 4th place in the final.
In February 2014, he played Las Vegas casino mogul Ted Binion in Josh Evans' film Death in the Desert.[13] The screenplay was written by John Steppling, based on the book Death in the Desert by crime writer Cathy Scott.[14]
In August 2014, he starred in the Kill Bill-themed music video for the song "Black Widow" by Iggy Azalea featuring Rita Ora.
Madsen starred in the ensemble western film The Hateful Eight. He was among a number of people rumored to have leaked the film's script before it was released, causing Tarantino to almost not make the film and eventually rewrite it. It was later revealed Madsen was not responsible for leaking the script.[15] In 2016, he played a dramatized role of former Texas Ranger Phil Ryan in Real Detective on the Investigation Discovery network.[16]
He executive produced in Vilan Trub's crime drama film The Dirty Kind, which is loosely inspired by Anthony Weiner.[17]
Personal life
[edit]Madsen's first wife was Georganne LaPiere, half-sister of singer and actress Cher. They met in 1983, married in 1984, and divorced in 1988.[18]
He has a daughter named Jessica with Dana Mechling. Jessica was born March 24, 1979.
He was married to Jeannine Bisignano from 1991 to 1995. They have two sons, Christian and Max, who are both actors.[19]
In 1996, he married DeAnna Morgan. The couple married in Ocho Rios, Jamaica while Madsen was on a break from shooting Donnie Brasco.[20] Together they had three sons, Luke, Kalvin and Hudson. Hudson died by suicide in January 2022.[19]
Madsen has a line of hot sauces called American Badass.[21]
In February 2022, Madsen was arrested on a misdemeanor trespassing charge.[22]
On August 17, 2024, Madsen was arrested on a battery charge after he reportedly assaulted his wife. He would be released after his bail was set at $20,000.[23] Madsen was released from custody after posting the same bail.[24] In September 2024, Madsen filed for divorce from his wife, DeAnna, of 28 years, alleging in the filing that she broke into his residence in Malibu and "drove" their son Hudson to suicide with her alleged "neglect, drinking and alcoholism."[25]
Charity work
[edit]Madsen received the award for his work with the Shriners Hospital for Children in 2002.[26]
In September 2009, Madsen announced his participation in the 26th annual Love Ride to help raise money for local charities.[27] The charity included celebrities Malcolm Forbes, Peter Fonda, Larry Hagman, Billy Idol and Bruce Springsteen, among others. The event was scheduled for October 25, 2009, but was ultimately canceled due to poor ticket sales and a decline in sponsorship.
Madsen hosted the event An Intimate Evening with Michael Madsen to benefit Children's Pediatric Cancer in 2016.
