Michael Madsen
Birthdate:	Chicago, Illinois
Birthplace:	September 25, 1957
Role:	Jim Ricker

Michael Madsen played Jim Ricker during Season 8 of 24.

He is perhaps most famous for his role in Quentin Tarantino's films like "Mr. Blonde" in Reservoir Dogs and "Budd" in Kill Bill. In 1991's Reservoir Dogs, the most famous scene of the film featured Madsen with Kirk Baltz, where he tortured and mutilated Baltz's character. He has appeared in Species II in 1998, alongside James Cromwell and Sarah Wynter. He starred in Die Another Day in 2002, where he played James Bond's CIA counterpart (a role previously played by John Terry). In 2005, he appeared in Sin City alongside Powers Boothe, Tommy Flanagan and Jude Ciccolella. In 2010, he was in another Tarantino cult inspiration called Hell Ride (with Eric Balfour)

In recent years, like Tony Todd, he has successfully managed to star in a mixture of indie and mainstream productions with occasional cable/DTV B-movies, TV guest spots and cartoon voice-overs. He often co-starred in movies with Kiefer, Dennis Hopper, Danny Trejo, Eric Roberts, Daryl Hannah, Francesco Quinn, Daniel Baldwin, Harvey Keitel and Sarah Wynter.
