Michael Madsen, best known for working in the Quentin Tarantino movies Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill has died at the age of 67.

In what is believed to have been his final interview before his death, the Donnie Brasco star sat down for an interview with Stephen Baldwin on his One Big Movie podcast. 

In the candid chat, Madsen spoke highly of Alec Baldwin, while also playfully bashing Johnny Depp as ‘overrated.’  

After admiring Baldwin’s movie posters and saying he used to have a large collection himself but he lost them when his home burned down in the 2018 Woolsey Fire in Malibu.

Baldwin then asked what Madsen has been up to and the Kill Bill star answered rather flippantly and off the cuff.

‘Just trying to stay employed,’ he said with a laugh.

Baldwin then called his older brother Alec Baldwin so the two could reminisce about filming the 1994 film The Getaway, which also starred Alec’s ex-wife Kim Basinger.

Alec and Michael then shared several anecdotes from their experience filming The Getaway.

They alluded to doing something mysterious in a bathroom that was likely something illegal like drugs.

Alec also shared a funny story about them wanting to ditch filming for a day, so when Madsen’s hotel room phone rang, he answered it.

It was someone asking for Mr. Mason, and Alec put on an hilarious combo of a Latino and Chicago accent and hung up on whomever was looking for Madsen.

‘Goddamnit, Alec, you’re the funniest mother f***er, Madsen said while laughing hard.

In another segment, Madsen recounted hearing Alec tell Basigner not to talk to him while she insisted he was a good guy. 

He said Alec said ‘No you don’t understand, he’s the bad guy in the movie, stop chatting him up, stop talking to Madsen.’

Alec then quipped, ‘Take your hands out of Madsen’s pants.’

As the interview ended Alec called Madsen, ‘the greatest actor ever,’ which Stephen wholeheartedly agreed with.

Madsen also talked about working with Al Pacino and Johnny Depp in 1997’s Donnie Brasco. 

He had very interesting meeting with Al Pacino who summoned him to New York City to meet with him and asked him if he had any notes on the script.

When he mentioned that his character Sonny had birds in the book, Pacino cut him off and said, ‘I get all of the parts.’

Madsen left soon after and was surprised to find he’s actually booked the movie.

The entire encounter took seven minutes and Madsen wondered if Pacino was in character at the time. 

He also said working with Depp was difficult as he wouldn’t even be in the same room. 

Baldwin asked him whether he ever thought that Depp was terrible at acting when they were doing scenes together.

They alluded to doing something mysterious in a bathroom that was likely something illegal like drugs, which they brought up several times in the interview

Madsen replied without hesitation, ‘Yeah. It wasn’t terrible, it was just boring. It was lifeless. There was a lifelessness to it that I couldn’t comprehend. It made no sense to me.’

He recounted a prank he and the other actors playing tough guys locked Depp in his dressing room with a wind-up rat and he thinks that’s why Depp didn’t want much to do with him.

Some time later, Madsen was patronizing Depp’s Viper Room and was beat up in the bathroom. 

A bouncer told him to go and he tried to get him to tell him why he was beat up.

The bouncer said, ‘Johnny wanted me to tell you that he thought you loved him.’
