With such a versatile and vibrant actor as Val Kilmer, you can ask anyone what they think his three best performances are and you’ll likely get differing responses.
There’s the cocky villainy of Lt. Tom “Iceman” Kazansky in “Top Gun”, of course, and the saloon swagger of John Henry “Doc” Holliday in “Tombstone”—and that’s not even getting into the “Batman Forever” of it all.
For four decades, Kilmer was an underrated, often difficult but always exciting addition to any production, with an extraordinary range that spanned Western dramas, music biopics, superhero movies, slapstick comedies and everything in between, and an all-in dedication to pull any of them off.
