Remembered for striking performances, Modine is loved in Hollywood, having secured a place in both new and old audiences' hearts.

Standing by his charm, Matthew Modine took to Instagram, paying tributes to Madonna and Linda Fiorentino. He went ahead and added, "Because I'm #crazyforyou—thank you @madonna❤️#lindafiorintino #wrestling #visionquest @jwuntitled."
