The world is mourning Michael Madsen, an actor who blessed audiences with so many amazing performances. Some remember him as the foster father, Glen, in Free Willy; others remember him as Louise’s non-committal musician boyfriend, Jimmy, in Thelma & Louise. Call him Michael “Midas” Madsen. Whatever he touched, it turned to gold. Unfortunately, the actor died of cardiac arrest at his home in Malibu, California, on July 3, 2025.
