He filmed a scene at an old farmhouse that sits a few hundred feet off the road about a mile from my daughter's house. It doesnt seem like it was that long ago, or maybe it was.....I dont remember the name of the film or if it was even ever released. I thought he was great in The Doors movie, and Top Secret. It was good to see him in the 2nd Top Gun movie. He was about the only character in that movie I liked.
Great in Tombstone.
His health was terrible. Genetics? Unsure. Smoker?

Just heard this. RIP. Great actor. Don’t forget the Saint, thought that was pretty good as well as Top Gun, Tombstone, etc.
Glad he was able to be in Top Gun II.

If you have never seen True Romance (my personal favorite movie), he has a great role in that. He plays an imaginary Elvis that you never quite get to see.
I'm your Huckleberry...
The Doors movie...

and don't forget, he was in Heat aswell.
One of my favorite of his character quotes was in Tombstone when Doc says "I know, let's have a spelling contest". For some reason, that line always makes me laugh. RIP VK.
Yes, smoker.
A bit younger than me. Looked like hell the last few years
His two best roles were Nick Rivers in Top Secret and Doc Holliday in Tombstone. I agree with those who say Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holliday was the key to making the movie the success it was.
So, to remember Mr. Kilmer I will go skeet surfing this afternoon.

Excellent actor for his era. Unfortunate to hear, seeing a lot of folks I grew to know through movies & entertainment leaving their "roles". Actually I've been getting a lot of article suggestions lately about Val Kilmer from my phone since my phone watches me.

RIP. Doc role in Tombstone was Oscar worthy. He wasn't even nominated.
ImYourHuckleberry was my FPS name in Delta Force and then the Battlefield series. Always thought it put a cherry on top of whoever I just took out!
Throat cancer followed by radiation which destroyed his voice.
"I know, let's have a spelling contest." Pretty sure I can quote the whole movie if I had to.
He's also awesome in Heat.
You where one hell of an inspiration to Gen X, Val. Gone but never forgotten. RIP.
