Just look at all his upcoming movies and how many he has been in before!!

[InOne]

I think his fame is a bit fabricated on here. He's riding off a few good films he's made.

[fruit_cake]

maybe he's not as important in the US as he appears to be here?

[RST3K]

Michael Madsen hasn't been relevant since Kill Bill. He filed bankruptcy a few years back so I presume he's taking jobs from anyone who will offer them at this point, hence the copious amounts of trash he's been involved with recently.

[Crimson Dynamo]

[daniel-lewis-1985]

He looks better than bloated, sallow little Frankie. Imagine what Frankie's going to look like in his fifties!

[Bojangles]

I read somewhere that the going rate for appearing on CBB is £175000,negotiable for some.

[arista]

Plus

Free Willy

Thelma & Louise

Mulholland Falls

Donnie Brasco

The Getaway

Hell Ride

Die Another Day

Species
He's also done voice overs for Grand Theft Auto III, Driv3r and more and has written several books of poetry.

He's definitely the most famous in the house imo I don't know about him still being a millionare though, he's filed bankruptcy before and supposedly owed $570k in child support payments.

He's still a legend

[Angus]

Michael said he had to ask his mate (Vinnie Jones) whether to do it or not, and Vinnie said he should or, in Michael's words, Vinnie "endorsed" it. Maybe Vinnie's not as good a mate as Michael thought, eh?

Happy New Year Angus

Didnt jedward get 1m?

Surely a hollywood actor should get more than them :S

[pixee]

His role in Reservoir Dogs is his most famous I would imagine and that was essentially a small indie film that cost about a million dollars.

He's played character parts since then and if you factor in child support that is talked about above, which as far as i know doesn't change depending on whether you have a good year or a bad, he's probably not doing great.

Frankie Cocozza is getting £30 000 grand I read so a bankrupt Hollywood character actor...£200 000 grand sounds about right?

A world-famous "small indie film" written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.

I wonder what the rest are getting paid...

Will be a bit of a pisstake if the TOWIE bloke or one of the WAGs are getting more than Michael

[Ramsay]

Im sure it must of taken them ALOT of moolah for him to even consider going into the house

[Vicky.]

Anyway, it is possible that not EVERYONE who goes on CBB is desperate.

I mean, if I was an A lister or something, I would probably do it...just because I love the show. That may make me stupid as most consider it career suicide though

[Roy Mars III]

He's getting a decent amount of money to just live a few weeks or less in a house. If he had nothing else to do I don't see why he wouldn't do it.

Reservoir Dogs was an independant film/indie film. That isn't a slight on the film.

The point I was making is that Madsen would not have got paid much for a film that cost a million dollars and a film where he wasn't even the biggest "star" in the movie.

Oh... that's okay then :-)

I'm a massive Tarantino fan you see. Leapt to his defence when there was no need. Soz.
