ululate!

Actor Val Kilmer, who had his heyday in the 80s and 90s, is dead at age 65. He had a good returning role as Iceman in "Top Gun: Maverick," but I probably remember him best for his comic roles in "Real Genius" and "Top Secret." I never saw his take on Jim Morrison in "The Doors," nor have I seen his Doc Holliday in "Tombstone" (but that movie is on my queue). Kilmer had a reputation for being difficult to work with, but from "Top Gun" to "Heat," he repeatedly showed himself to be a talented actor. RIP.

    You've not seen "Tombstone?!?!" It is one of my favorites. I own it. We'll have to watch while you are here. "Heat" is also awesome. He is great in "The Doors," but that is not one of my favorites. If you've not seen "The Ghost in the Darkness" that is another great one.

      I'm really not a fan of "Heat," which I saw in the theater years ago at Union Station, but I'd be curious to see "The Doors."
