Val Kilmer, known for his rock-star charisma, delivered iconic performances across multiple genres. From his suave portrayal of Doc Holliday in 'Tombstone' to the comedic charm of 'Gay Perry' in 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,' Kilmer's acting prowess captivated audiences. His final film, 'Top Gun: Maverick,' showcased his resilience post-throat cancer, conveying depth and emotion mostly through written words, leaving a lasting impact on viewers and fans alike.
Already rock-star handsome, Kilmer morphed into a sensual, psychedelics-inflected rock star on the set, singing his own vocals, and purring poetry to Meg Ryan.
Dapper, unflappable, deadly, Kilmer's Doc Holliday was urbane in a world of Western ruffians, whether dropping Latin phrases in conversation or dropping rival gunslingers in shootouts.
His gay detective drove Robert Downey Jr.'s struggling-actor-pretending-to-be-a-detective nuts, but audiences dug his relaxed, jokey take on the character.
In his final film appearance, after suffering from throat cancer, Kilmer's Iceman mostly communicated with Tom Cruise's Maverick through words on a computer screen.
