Man I really liked his work in Real Genius and Top Secret!. I remember reading that he was the youngest drama student ever accepted to Julliard. He was 17 and an acting prodigy. Super talented actor.
RIP Nipple Suit Batman. Kilmer died of pneumonia on Thursday in Los Angeles, his daughter Mercedes told US media. She said her father had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 but later recovered. He had most recently reprised his role as fighter pilot Iceman alongside Tom Cruise in 2022's Top Gun: Maverick.
RIP He was a damn good actor. I think he was a little misunderstood. If you haven’t seen his documentary, you should watch it. He basically video taped his whole life.
When I think of Val Kilmer I think of Doc Holiday!! He delivered an Oscar winning performance in Tombstone and yet he didn't even get nominated!! The majority of people are enamored with the "I'm your Huckleberry" scene (me too!) but this is my favorite part of the movie! The "I don't have many friends" scene was not acting, HE WAS DOC HOLLIDAY!! Look into his eyes.... RIP Mr. Kilmer!! Que en paz descanse!!
I read his autobiography last year and it was a good read, he was a classically trained actor from NY and did not fit any character he played, he was a very interesting guy.....................RIP Iceman
He had some good roles. The Saint was cheesy, but I liked it, for some unknown reason. and he did a great job of portraying Jim Morrison in The Doors. Willow sucked, but it wasn't his fault. I'm glad he got to act once more in Top Gun Maverick (great movie). A great finale to his career. Don't smoke or vape.
