What the hell is the deal with Michael Madsen
I was looking at Michael Madsen's IMDB page just now... he has *47* credits from 2007-now. 47! What the hell?

As long as everyone is in agreement that listing #88 - The Ghost - is his greatest film ever (that I haven't been able to sit for more than the first 15 minutes), but he has the greatest character name of all time

Michael has found his calling in the DTV garbage world of DVDs.
Oh, and he's still riding off his performance as Mr. Blonde.

He's a workaholic.
He better hope his wife doesn't get pregnant anytime soon, because something tells me Tarantino might actually collect one day.

Meh. Not everyone wants to be big and rich and a household name and stuff. Some people [in the movie business] just like making movies with friends and good people and getting paid for it. All of those small movies - I wouldn't be suprised if he brings in a half-million plus a year.
That being said, it would be interesting to see what roles Madsen tries for and gets turned down. I wouldn't be suprised if he doesn't aim too high with big productions and such.

Michael Madsen still gives good performances in these low budget/DTV films....
Luck of the Draw
The Last Days of Frankie the Fly
Chasing Ghosts
Hell Ride
Choke
Sacrifice
Tooth & Nail
& some others....
Some of these films are average at best but he is good in them....

Give the guy a break. He is one of the few actors who realizes his shit does stink. Not like most actors that are clueless when they make a shitty movie.
