In True Romance as Elvis and I had no idea till a few years later and it's one of my all time favourites..

Was in another one my all times in ''Heat''..Geez what a great cast for a fantastic film.

Had a rep as a hard guy to get along with on the set but seems to do good work just the same.

I imagine we will hear the skinny on him now that he's gone.

RIP, he should have won an Oscar for playing Doc Holliday in Tombstone, I mainly watched it for his scenes.
He wasn't even nominated.

 

[Pepe_Grande]

RIP. Tombstone is an all time favourite of mine and he killed it in that movie.

 

[Insidious Von]

I first noticed him in Real Genius, an under-rated comedy.

He was a devout Scientologist, which makes me wonder if he was denied medication that could have saved his life. Isaac Hayes was denied heart medication and Kelly Preston....

Very handsome man, what a waste. The particle beam scene.

An iconic actor from my youth. They're dropping like flies. RIP Val. His first feature film role is in one of my favorite comedies from the 1980's

 

[MissCroft]

Not really surprised. He looked horrible in recent years.

RIP

Oh no...

I've always really liked Val Kilmer.

The Salton Sea is a great movie.

 

[Jubee]

Wow, this one hit me a little. First time I saw him was in Top Gun and to me, he set the "cool" standard.
RIP, thanks for the entertainment.

One of the best acting performances of all time. Oscars are a joke.

RIP
Iceman, Jim Morrison, Batman. Need to re-watch Heat. Also need to watch Tombstone.
He was also great as John Holmes in Wonderland.

The Salton Sea is a great movie.

Saw it years ago, yes great flick!

Oh wow, I just watched the original Top Gun for the first time yesterday so this is kinda surreal. RIP.

Kilmer was great as John Holmes in Wonderland

Throat cancer?

Another victim of eating the Devil's Pie?

 

[Insidious Von]

The Duel between Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo has left me wondering...whatever happened to Michael Biehn?

Val Kilmer played Doc Holliday the best, he looked like a man who had tuberculosis. Kirk Douglas (Gunfight at the OK Corral) and Victor Mature (My Darling Clementine) looked too healthy. I would take Henry Fonda over Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp.

Haven't seen Kevin Costner's movie.

 

[glamphotographer]

Oh no!!! One of my favorite actors from the 90s. RIP.

Throat cancer?

Another victim of eating the Devil's Pie?

If the pie doesn't taste like Parma butter, don't eat it. I suspect that Shaq is an aficionado of the Devil's Pie.

Watched a documentary on him a couple of years ago. Likeable guy. So sad that he killed himself slowly with the devil's weed.
Throat cancer. From smoking cigarettes.
To paraphrase Rick James.
Tobacco. One hell of a drug
