RIP, Val Kilmer

[GoHeelsweeeehoooo]

I really like him in the movie Real Genius - a very underrated movie imo

Home of App State? Cool.

I wonder what the answer to that one is?

Neek Reevers/Iceman/Doc Holliday has passed

Val Kilmer, 'Top Gun' and Batman star with an intense approach, dies at 65

Kilmer, the youngest actor ever accepted to the prestigious Juilliard School at the time he attended, experienced the ups and downs of fame more dramatically than most.

And Jim Morrison has broken on through to the other side.

Not a single mention of Heat? Seriously?

He played Jim Morrison in 91, Doc Holliday in 93 and b/w those squeezed in a minor role as an ostensible Elvis in True Romance (great role even if it only yielded about 3 minutes of screen time). If he stayed in character that whole time, that's a lot of debauchery and disillusion squeezed into three years...

LOL, I meant dissolution...

He’s an interesting Hollywood figure to read about. Apparently he was EXTREMELY difficult to work with, which likely derailed his chances of being a true A-list leading star during the years that should have been his prime.

If you’re interested in an entertaining documentary about a movie Val Kilmer was in, check out Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau. (Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau - Wikipedia.)

There were so many things that led to that movie being a disaster to begin with, but casting both Val Kilmer and Marlon Brando made that movie impossible to make.
