Just heard this, so sad. So many great characters. RIP

I worked with him on an indie film here in Vegas (along with C. Thomas Howell).

Michael was very unique. His rate was $27k cash plus accommodations. He drank hard but was always ready. He didn’t mingle much. He nailed his scenes then left. One take, two if HE wanted to do it over.

He did mention he is Vincent Vega’s brother in Tarantino’s world and was supposed to be in Pulp Fiction as his character Vic Vega from Resevoir Dogs. I remember reading that, he confirmed it.

RIP

Rest in Peace, sir. :*(

He had a great skill at being calm and subdued but fully menacing at the same time. Without raising his voice, etc., he scared the crap out of you. Rest easy, Mike.

Lots of these guys dying young. It's sad.

Rest in Peace

He could present as death incarnate. Pure confidence in what he was doing and you never doubted he was going to, very casually, finish any job he started in the storyline. Great work, will be missed.

Rest his soul

That sucks! I just watched The Hateful Eight and replayed the Dishonored games where he voices a major character.
