Actor, writer and Val Kilmer has passed at the age of 65.
Kilmer had been ill for some time, suffering from throat cancer.
I first saw him in Real Genius on home video, saw his great turn in Top Gun: Maverick, and most recently saw him when I rewatched Heat.
I always thought he was great. Sure, you heard he was a method actor/ was difficult, but whatever. When I saw him in a movie, he was always stellar - and for some reason I always think of how great he was in The Ghost and the Darkness. But that was one of maybe two dozen things I saw him in. Actually, a scan of IMDB tells me that it's likely far more films and roles than that. Whether it was playing Jim Morrison, Batman, or Doc Holliday, or whatever... he was always a strength to whatever movie he was in.
He'll be missed.
