He was a great Batman in Batman ForeverSad. Good actor in a lot of good movies.
Damn, that sux. Dude was a legend in so many movies and didn’t appear to be in good health for a few years. He was great playing Jim Morrison in “The Doors” and obviously Top Gun. He was great as Doc Holliday in Tombstone.
Way too young

I really like that movie, it comes on a couple times a yearView attachment 1492231
Chris Knight..."Real Genius"
My second favorite to Doc in Tombstone.
I believe he'd been suffering from throat cancer for a few years. Sad to hear though.
Nothing tops Doc Holliday in Tombstone
RIP
Funny, if you read the articles he hated that movie/partHe was a great Batman in Batman Forever
Heat was a great movie too
Read an article about him and Kurt Russel that after Tombstone wrapped they exchanged gifts. Kurt bought Val a plot in Boot Hill Cemetery and Val bought Kurt an acre overlooking Boot Hill.This man was an actor in the finest sense of the word...thinking back on all the films he made listed here, and he seemed to inhabit the character he played, not just wore the clothes. I truly think he was robbed not getting the Oscar for Doc in Tombstone, he defined that role.
Top Secret was awesome...Top Secret! Was the first thing I saw him in. Best was Tombstone.
RIP Nick Rivers.Top Secret was awesome...
Kilmer was hilarious.
I think his voice was real in Top Gun Maverick. In his documentary movie he made called VAL, he can barely talk. I had read that they used a combination of voice clips from previously recorded movies and interviews, combined with his Son's voice to artificially create his voice for narrating the movie.I didn't actually know Kilmer wasn't really acting in Top Gun Maverick when it came to his voice or him typing the conversations he was having.
Not sure if it was really that bad and they played it up or that was done so he could be in it.
Either way that part in that movie was a great way to wrap up his character.
