did he start losing height in his 40s? he was at least inch shorter tan benicio del toro in most sin city premiere pictures.

The Getaway is a great film IMO, surprised to see it so poorly rated. The original was my favourite film of McQueen's, but some elements of the remake were as good and if anything a bit better IMO, I know most will disagree. Baldwin and Basinger were great in it. Madsen quite rightly says he was proud of it and said "It was a pretty good movie. I don’t think it was really released right. I think it should’ve been a wider release. I think they should’ve left it out a little bit longer."

There were scenes in Donnie Brasco where I thought he looked 189cm and 215-220 pounds. He made Johnny Depp look really small and scrawny! In Reservoir Dogs he could also give a strong 6'2 impression, though I don't think he looked as heavy at that point. There was something Elvis-like about him I thought, obviously dyes his hair black, but it suits him (unlike the tattoos).

Could look a solid 6ft2 in the 90's, sometimes 189cm...crazy amount of height loss. I reckon he's in the 230lbs range today.

He could even look 6'2.5 back in some of his 90s films. Quite a heavy set guy too, he looked like a big bear with Johnny Depp. What would you guess for his weight Rob and co?

Properly measured I think this guy can still manage 6ft0½ at least if not a bit more. Peak was undoubtedly 6ft2 if you watch Reservoir Dogs and The Getaway. Ridiculous amount of height to lose at 65 nonetheless.
Berta, Steve Williams is the guy you’re thinking of. He always looked solid 188cm minimum on 21 Jump Street, X-Files and LA Heat. Could’ve done a Jack Charlton (listed here 6ft2 but put down 6ft1½)

4 cm loss ia alot for his age, what is average by then, maybe 1,5 cm?. At peak he did look around 188 but there may be that his real peak height only was 187? Nothing under that ofcourse but i dont see him as tall as legit 6+2 guys. Think about the black guy that played in the x-files, he was only 187 according himself and he does look taller than this guy at peak.Hm what i am saying is i think he have lost alot of height but not 4 cm, maybe was 187.87,5 and now 184,5 if he stands tall. lost 2,5-3 cm

‘Mr Blonde’, Michael’s character in ‘Reservoir Dogs’, was an answer on The Chase today. The guy got it right, adding that he’d seen it.
I’ve seen it so many times that I know it virtually off by heart, so I can be very annoying to watch it with!

Poor Michael. I haven't heard that he suffered a broken leg.
If someone breaks a leg when fully grown, i.e. after around 30, and the later the accident, the bigger the risk of it messing with height in later life, do you think, Rob, that it's more damaging than it would be if you broke a leg as a growing youngster? It would certainly make sense. Kids were always breaking limbs at school, yet they always seemed to recover one hundred per cent. Actually, I think I've just answered my question, but your thoughts on the matter would be very much appreciated, and those of anyone who cares to contribute, possibly with his/her own personal tale.

Michael gets 6ft2 for his peak and 6ft and half-an-inch for his height today.

I always thought Madsen was a strong 6'2 weak 6'3. He towered over all the other cast members in Donnie Brasco, granted many of them were in the 5'5-5'8 range, but he still looked a legit tall guy.

Editor RobHe shrunk more since the first time I seen him, when he could stand well, but last 5 years you'd notice he struggles to look over 6ft in person.
A bit like Kane Hodder...over 10 years ago, even with boots he was noticeably taller than last year.

His posture has never been very good. In fact, it has been terrible for quite some time. I think he was 6'2'' at his tallest. He still looks quite tall in that photo despite the terrible posture but he won't be much over 6' if at all these days. He has definitely lost height. I have no doubt that his poor posture earlier in life will have contributed to greater height loss.

Rob, could having bad posture like Madsen even when young and capable of straightening up potentially cause relatively early or more height loss?

Editor RobBad habits can lead to issues later on, especially getting towards age 60 when the body is starting to get older. But, taking up some basic exercise could help greatly, even for a guy like madsen. Maybe even recover an ability to stand and look taller.

I've just been watching Michael doing his little dance in 'Reservoir Dogs', but before then, I had an excellent opportunity to compare him with strong Chris Penn, who, probably because he lifts Michael clean off the ground, gave me the impression that Chris and Michael were near to each other in height. They aren't, and I even noticed Chris looking up to Michael when they were having their fun slanging match in Lawrence Tierney's office!
Doubtless 6ft2 then, 6ft0.75 now. Still as sexy as ****!

In Reservoir Dogs, his body looks incredibly disproportional. He has long legs, but an extremely short back. Either that, or he has always poor posture, or he pulled his pants all the way to his armpits.

Look at this page: Click Here Carl Weathers is taller in every pic and it looks like Michael is wearing cowboy boots. Much better chance of Carl still measuring 6'1" than Michael, imo despite Carl being a decade older! Was Michael really a full 6'2"? He'd tower over the Donnie Brasco cast because some of the cast like Pacino and Bruno Kirby were short and Johnny Depp was average or even the low side of average.

I'm sorry, I can buy that he has lost near 2 inches. About an inch, I can buy, he is heavy and Apperantly has a hard lifestyle. Also likely measures taller than he appears now.
He certainly was a tall guy, 187-188 for sure.
This listing is OK, but, I personally go with just under this listing:
6ft1.75 peak, now 185-5.5 I guess,.
188 is far from impossible, I just think he is young to have possibly lost 3cm of height, and it pretty much rules out
I'm sorry, I can buy that he has lost near 2 inches. About an inch, I can buy, he is heavy and Apperantly has a hard lifestyle. Also likely measures taller than he appears now.
He certainly was a tall guy, 187-188 for sure.
This listing is OK, but, I personally go with just under this listing:

he looks like he could be 186 in the photo. but if we take away the cowboy boots, then he isnt taller than 184. strange in old movies he actually looks 188. But i dont think he can have lost that mutch height. peak 187 and today if he stands well he could be almost 186. 1 cm loss

Well, he definitely had an easy inch on Kevin Costner in Wyatt Earp, so certainly a proper 6'2 in his prime. He's lost height early. Could be his heard living lifestyle, a heavy smoker and drinker I think.

Nt surprising he could come off as 6'3+ in Reservoir Dogs when a lot of the cast are quite short, seeing him with guys who are in the 6'2-6'3 range I can't see him being 6'2 at peak, maybe close to it but can't see even 6'2.

It just goes to show how huge 6ft2 really is! I would have thought he was nearer 6ft4 in Reservoir Dogs and Donnie Brasco, though when he was on Celebrity Big Brother, good sport that he is, he did look somewhat shorter! A great and charming actor and I am very fond of him!

Rob, could he even be dipping under 6ft1 by this point?
I've seen him pop up recently in a few things and he looks barely above average at times. A far cry from the 90's when his height actually stood out and was most likely one of the reasons he got work playing a heavy.

Editor Rob he definitely walks about shorter than he could stand I feel. A guy who can look 5ft 11-6ft to people probably, but uncranks his back and still measures over 6ft.

I've seen hateful 8 and 6'1 Channing Tatum is the same exact height as him ..6'2 Samuel L Jackson looked an inch taller then him when he was holding him and Tim Roth at gun point against the wall ,atange because Jackson should be losing inches in his mid 60's but still a strong 6'2 while the younger Madsen is losing height slowly

Just look at how long his legs are in Reservoir Dogs. The guy was an EASY 6'2", maybe even as tall as 6'2.5".
Today he doesn't seem to be quite that height, though. I guess a rough lifestyle cost him a couple of centimeters huh? Looks about 6'1" now.

Editor Rob I seen him in blackpool last month, really he walked about like a 6ft guy I thought, he certainly looked taller last year, but then he had cowboys, maybe I seen him on a rare occasion that the cowboy boot helped him reach his highest height.

Yes, he could look 6'2.5-6'3" in the early 90s, certainly he could look a comfortable 6'2" guy. Yet in recent years can look struggling with even 6 ft 1 now.

So he was 6 ft. 2 peak? Is that what mainly evryone is sayingg? How can you lose one inch at the age of 57? Come on now. First danny glover, than ted dibiase. Who else? These excuses have to stop. Why dont people just face the facts that alot of these actors arent as tall as we may have thought. Peak height 61.25. Oh and now that we know madsen was never 6'2, brad pitt has never been 5'11.

188-189cm looks about right next to Quentin Tarantino and Chris Penn.
Around the same in Donnie Brasco w/h Depp and Pacino. In Kill Bill I couldn't find a decent shot of him with Uma Thurman to tell but I reckon an easy 2in if not more in his favour.
Rubbish posture will make any 6ft2 guy a weak 6ft1 or less. He may have had surgery.
mmmm...i am not sure about the fact he ever been and seemed a honest 6'2".
for example look at him in getaway (1994). at times he probably was at "peak" and he didn't seem for sure 2,5" taller than Alec Baldwin (5'11.5")...the curious thing is that they had both same shoes (cowboy's boots).
i think he was in youth 6'1.5-1.75" while today he has already lost 0,75" so 6'0.75-1" is right on!

His posture is probably a fixed feature by now. Still looks a solid 6'1' in almost every comparison. A barefoot Michael was at least as tall as Daryl Hannah in 3 inch heels in Kill Bill, even though he he had his customary slouch.. Hard living costs you some extra height by your late 50's. Someone who burnt the candle at both ends for 3 decades, yet still looks 6'1'', could quite easily have been a weak 6'3'' with the good posture of early adulthood.

Yeah Andrea, that is an example of him looking 187...
@Arch Stanton: He could certainly pull off 6'2 in the 90's; but do you really think 187 is laughable? I mean if he's 184-185 today, then certainly 6'2 was the most h could be, and I'm just suorised your so completely ruling out any less than that, when normally you're one of the most open minded here.
I just don't see him losing more than an inch of height in his 50's, and since he looked 187-188(IMO) then 6ft1.75 seems fair enough.
I seem to be one of the only people who thinks he wasn't a full 6'2, though, even with this new evidence.

Nice photo - I would say the excessive leaning neutralizes his extra inch in
footwear so we're seeing him as he really is relative to you. I'd say 6'1.5".
Thus 6'2" twenty years ago is certainly credible. And only people who are
modest about their height lean like that, which implies a general modesty.

He could look 187-188 in the 90's, Andrea.(At least if you trust my judgement).
I always though 6'2 was generous, I mean I wouldn't have completely ruled it out, but with him being barely 6'1 today, I just can't see it, unless we are supposed to honestly believe he's lost 2.5-3cm in his 50's???
To top it all off, Rob says 184 isn't ruled out, and he also looks that mark at times.(like in this pic). Then again, Rob also said he looked a big 6'2 in cowboy boots...
Peak height 6ft1.75, I still give him, and a liberal 6ft1 now.

It's amazing that some people by watching movies can just tell someone's height. I always thought he was 6'2" due to always being the tallest in his movies until I dealt with him 6-7 years ago and realized that there is no way he was 6'2" or in that range.

I never thought he was a legit 6'2, to me he looked a good 187, like 6ft1.5-75. Of course he could look 187-8 in the 90's, but I never believed h ha lost that much height by age 50.
But I kept my mouth shut, because everyone else thought he was a legit 6'2 guy. But now with this photo, he needs a downgrade. He looks 6'1 range here, with the cowboy boots.
Of course pics can be deceptive, but this looks a good pic. He certainly isn't over 185cm.
I think, at least downgrading him to 6ft1.75in peak would be fair, as he wasn't less than a very strong 186/7. Today.
Today, he likely is 6ft0.75 at low.

Editor Rob I need to see him in early 90's stuff again.
I think the cowboy boots helped his posture, as I say I seen him standing around talking with a crew and this photographer (who himself is near 6ft) and he was over 6ft 1 and near 6ft 2, that was the best I saw him standing for 20 seconds.

I'm a little chocked by this 6'1 listing actually.. I saw him a few years back at a convention here in Sweden.. I'm 6' and my brother who was with me is 6'1.. and I don't think he was my brothers height.. I would actually peg him at my height or one or two centimeters under me even.. But I didn't really study his height so I can't say for sure about this one, I'm just saying I wouldn't have guessed he would be 6'1 from what I saw. Seemed like a cool guy though.

Michael is slouching enough to lose 1 inch next to Rob;however, he gets it back with the 1" heel advantage. Pretty much evens out. I'd give him 6'1". He was great in Donnie Brasco.

@Rob I told you he was struggling with 6'1 with Gareth Thomas!! He was in cowboy boots and barefoot 6'3" Gareth Thomas still looked noticeably taller!

Yeah, i see what you mean, Rob... You're saying you've been quite "lucky" he didn't stand as bad as he did with some of the other congoers... In any case, 6'1 is the most he could be today and he easily might drop a fraction under it! You're still convinced he was a big 6'2 guy, though? He didn't look that tall with Johnny and that actor Chris Penn listed at 5'11 (in The Reservoir Dogs)!

If he's standing pretty good here, then how can he be 6'1? He doesn't look over 6'1 and he's got an inch more than you! He looks more 6' range... And since he's only 56, i highly doubt he's ever been a legit 6'2 in his life!

Editor Rob he has lost height in last decade I believe.
The point is compared to me he's actually standing decent and the photo isn't bad. I think he looks near 185 so at worst would be 6ft.
With other people though he can struggle to look anywhere near it.
One last example to show what it could have been like...this guy in person who looks between 5ft 5 and 5.5: Chap with Ramsey and Madsen.
It's not too bad a photo for showing him close to his height, because as can be seen, he can look 5ft 9 with 2 guys who are actually 2-3 inches shorter than myself :)

The picture above isn't good for judging how tall he is because of the slouchy way he's standing, leaning in towards Rob with his arm around him, and almost pushing his chin down into chest. The only clear thing we can tell for sure is that Rob's eye level is below his mouth.

Look at This photoAnother photo. Bear in mind that guy is leaning and in person he's a couple of inches shorter than myself. So he's standing about 5ft 5 there and Madsen isn't over 5ft 9.5 in comparison.
It could have turned out a lot worse ;)

Terrible posture! If that guy is 6'3 then he doesn't seems taller than 6' but the posture is terrible.
However if he standing straight is 6'1" today than I wouldn't put him at full 6'2" as peak height.
6'1.5" or even 6'1.75" is better!

Lol, and that's how a 6'2 guy (considering he's probably got an inch more footwear over those guys too) would look? He looks 6' tops... Again, for the third time, what about his posture? He must have a terrible one to explain this...

Editor Rob I was only one at this moment in room with him as I was later getting this pic, so seeing him standing with the photographer and crew he looked a 6ft 2 guy, but then seeing he had cowboy boots I think he's around 6ft 1 range.
As I said to you, I did ask him if he wanted to do a back to back pose but he wasn't up for it.
He is actually standing pretty good here! He could have looked a lot different, for instance: With a 5ft 4-4.5 guy and a 6ft 3 guy...

He was never more than 6'1". I dealt with him about 7-8years ago and he was 6'1" then. I don't understand the height loss. He is in his 50's and was most likely 50 when I met him. It's not like he was an action star doing his own stunts like Jackie Chan. I could believe a cm loss but a full inch/3cm?

avi, studies show the height loss beginning around 30ish and slowly building up after then, so that by 60 on average 2cm has been lost for a man, and 3cm for a woman. These are just averages so some lose less by this time (or perhaps even none) and others will lose more but the majority of people will have lost at least some height by 60.
By 80 it will almost always be very noticeable height loss though... well over an inch generally.

Believe it or not most people have already lost a small fraction of an inch by 40 it seems, increasing to approximately 1cm by age 50 on average. So it's not so unbelievable that this guy shed a half inch by now.

I think Baldwin has always been 5ft11 range and just wore lifts in movies to hold his own opposite guys who are genuinely 6ft+. Madsen was 6ft2-6ft2.5 peak and now is 6ft1.5-6ft2. I don't think he's as low as 6ft1 flat even though he could look it on Big Brother.

Yeah he was struggling with even 6'1" next to Gareth Thomas but I think posture had a bit to do with it. Either way it's virtually impossible that he could still be 188cm if Gareth Thomas is 191cm. Thomas was still taller than Madsen wearing cowboy boots!! Granted though Madsen easily looked 6'2" back in the 90s and if anything look 189-90cm, in films like Reservoir Dogs and Donnie Brasco.

I met Michael Madsen this past summer at an airport. I was wearing regular sneakers and he was wearing boots which may have given him a little extra height. I took a picture with him and I have posted a link to it below. I am 5'9.25", and even though he is slightly leaning and is wearing boots, I believe 6'1.5" - 6'2" is about where he is at.

Arch: Gareth Thomas? He's listed at 6ft3 and 6ft4. Rugby heights are usually spot on, so I think 192cm is possible for him.
As for Madsen, Reservoir Dogs and Donnie Brasco were two instances when he was cast with considerably shorter actors which might've added to the illusion of more height. I still think its quite possible he was 6ft2.25/189cm peak. Never 6ft3 though except in shoes.

I'd be shocked if he was 6ft-6ft1 now. But he does struggle to look 6ft2. Gareth Thomas has been listed as 6ft3 and 6ft4. My guess is that he might be 6ft3.5. Those rugby listings tend to round those centimetres up or down e.g. 6ft3/192cm or 6ft4/192cm etc.

He definitely looks noticeably taller in films in the 90s than he did on Big Brother. It would seem a joke saying he was as low as 6'-6'1" when if anything he looked nearer 6'3" than 6'1" in the 90s but if you saw him in cowboy boots next to the rugby player on Big Brother who is a legit 6'3" and barefoot 6'2" looks a joke let alone 6'3". He was shorter in cowboy boots than the rugby player barefoot. I can't explain it, maybe he has lost an inch at least.

@Arch: Chris Penn might've worn lifts to look more imposing as Nice Guy Eddie. But I see your point. There wasn't much between him and Madsen.
I still think 6ft2-3 in the 90s is believable. If Tarantino is/was 6ft1-1.5, Madsen was possibly a fraction over 6ft2.

Nup I've still got three copies of Die Another Day I think and gave away a few as copies so I definitely had about 5 at one point! Jaws is a cool film, nothing wrong with that!

6'5? for Madsen is crazy. I guess he could seem 6'3" in Reservoir Dogs. I used to have 5 copies of Die Another Day and 4 copies of World is Not Enough Rob! In the olden days when people were looking to replace their VHS tapes with DVDs I used to buy DVD boxsets and break them up and sell em and as you can imagine everybody already had those two so they always ended up being left.

When I watched Reservoir Dogs, I thought that he was at least 6'4" or 6'5". I didn't think that he was 6'2"

Arch, Die Another Day wasn't that bad, but I understand your argument. Too much sci-fi tech imo. Brosnan in that movie looks near 6'2 next to Madsen

I have 2 or 3 copies of Die Another Day on DVD which I couldn't sell when I once bought up Bond collections and sold them off individually and made a profit. Nobody would buy Die Another Day LOL, second worst Bond film after View to a Kill in my opinion. Quantum of Solace, third worst.

Editor Rob I have multiple copies of films, I end up buying ones I've forgot about...I must have about 3 copies of casino royale...
ffs, the worst is that for some unknown reason I have 4 'collectors' copies of Red Scorpion...madness!

Actually I saw Die Another Day last night and he looked evenly matched with Pierce Brosnan maybe a hair taller. Near 6ft3 in Reservoir Dogs and in Kill Bill. He has terrible posture. Maybe he's still 188cm and was 189cm peak. Looked really tall in Donnie Brasco.
Gareth Thomas has been listed from 6ft2 up to 6ft4 in the past. I'd say a strong 6ft3 maybe 6ft3.5 even?
Gareth Thomas is a solid 6 ft 3 guy, 6'3.5" is possible. I actually saw him last month in a car waiting at traffic lights just outside Bridgend but that's no good to estimate his height LOL. Madsen in cowboy boots was still shorter than him barefoot, 189 peak I strongly doubt. Granted he could look a full 6 ft 2 in his earlier films and did edge out Brosnan.

The guy has bad posture it's evident in Kill bill and even in Reservoir Dogs. I'm betting this guy was like 6'3 in Reservoir dogs, maybe 6'2 3/4 in Kill BIll

Jake: 1.82 m-- 1.83 m-- 1.84 m says on 6/Sep/12
He's only 53-54, he can't have lost much height (if any at all). Strong 1.87 m (6f1.75) peak, and still that today.
Trust me Jake if you saw him next to legit 6'3" Gareth Thomas you'd even be doubting he is as high as 6'1.5". He was still shorter than a barefoot Thomas in cowboy boots. I'll agree he looked a full 6 ft 2 peak, looked 6 ft 2 next to Colin Salmon in Die Another Day. But if you saw Big Brother at the beginning of the year you could see wasn't as tall as 6 ft 2 barefoot. I haven't been watching the new CBB as the "celebs" are just the worst going including that "Rhian I got texts from Vernon" bimbo.

In Reservoir Dogs he could pass for 6ft3...
Not suggesting he was that tall. But
189cm peak isn't out of the question

When I saw him look only about an inch shorter though I think he was in cowboy boots and Gareth barefoot! But the fact he was an inch taller than Tarrantino apparently at one time would indicate he was 6'2" at some point. He's approaching mid 50s so might have lost a cm or two or maybe its just posture....

Shaun said on 27/Jan/12
Yeah I think 6'1" is more likely as he's been wearing cowboy boots a lot and Gareth seems to mostly be barefoot and he still looks more than an inch taller. He does look more 6' most of time because of his posture, as you say he can look more 184cm a lot rather than 188cm. I'm sure he's not what Rampage thinks though.. Gareth's a big guy 6'3" and 16.5-17 stone I think and Michael isn't close to that.

Editor Rob whether he has lost height I don't know, but it is quite possible today 6ft 1.5 is nearer.
Shaun said on 26/Jan/12
Its 4:44 he's not slouching for once and the difference actually looks at least 2 inches and he's nearer the camera and in cowboy boots.. Can you only see an inch difference Rob?

Then he looks 4 inches shorter if you pause at 4:48. Gareth is a legit 6'3" but Madsen looks nowhere near 6'2" when they walk. I know its difficult to tell the exact difference but if you pause at 4:48 there looks quite some difference and its difficult to see how he could be slouching that much!!

Mmm, if he had on inch on Tarantino I doubt he is under 6'2. But he's not 189cm unless Gareth is 6'4". I think Gareth has been legitimately measured at 6'3" and looks it and I'm pretty certain Madsen is at least an inch shorter and I think he's been wearing cowboy boots and sneakers in the house all the time too and Gareth always seems to be barefoot.

Yeah he slouches an awful lot. At times he barely looks taller than Romeo MC who I think is 5'10"ish. He looks more 6'0 a lot as he always seem to be leaning forward as you say. 6'3" Gareth the gay Welsh rugby player seems to have more than an inch on him even when he seems to be standing fairly decent. I think he's more likely 6'1" and change. He was in Die Another Day I can't remember though if he ever stood next to Pierce Brosnan..

No it isn't Rampage. He's on Celeb Big Brother at the moment. I caught a glimpse of the start of it yesterday and I saw him standing next to legit 6'3" Gareth Thomas and he was definitely 1-1.5 inches shorter than him. I'd say he is somewhere close to a flat 6'2", most likely a tad under rather than over.

Very prolific character actor. He makes even crappy films worth watching because of his presence alone. He slouches quite a bit, but when he does stand straight, he's an easy 6'2".
@Rampage: I agree with you: in photos with Quentin Tarantino, he looked to have about 1" on QT.

really 6'0-6'1 in photos? I think he looks 6'2 a lot of the time. in resivor dogs looked the 6'2 mark.
This guy is a classic example of what a real 6'2 looks like unlike Clive Owen, Will Smith or Hugh Jackman.................. then again he did appear a fraction shorer than 6'1.5 Vinne Jones in one photo (probably just bad posture)

In Reservoir Dogs he looked really tall and slim, like 6'3. However, in his recent films he seems to have put on some weight and lost some height, not to mention his slouching posture. Still looks about 6'1.5 to me.

Even though he spent the enite movie slouching, I did see a visible two inches between him and Willis in "Sin City".
Also here he is with cast of "Kill Bill":

If he straightened up, he looks he'd definitely be a tad bit taller than 6'1.5 Tarrentino, so 6'2 or maybe a little more.

I noticed he never stood up straight next to Bruce Willis in Sin City while they were in the same shot, probably because they didn't want Willis looking 2 inches shorter than someone.

Believe it or not Rob, I saw Michael Madsen on Saturday night at the Basquiat exhibit in downtown LA. He actually stood right next to me while I was examining a painting. He had on boots, but they had a regular sized heel. Without a doubt, he is a straight up 6'2".
