This week saw the passing of Val Kilmer, renowned for his roles in films like “The Doors,” “MacGruber,” “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” and “Batman Forever.” His death was announced just before he was due to make a rare public appearance at the Beverly Hills Film Festival on Tuesday night. Kilmer had been more secluded after his 2015 diagnosis with throat cancer, but he continued to work, creating a documentary about his life in 2021 and appearing in a cameo for “Top Gun: Maverick” at Tom Cruise’s request in 2023. Today, many, including Nicolas Cage and Weird Al, are paying tribute by sharing their favorite memories of Kilmer, often reminiscing about the underwater fight scene in “Top Secret!
Nicolas Cage expressed his sorrow over Val’s passing in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. He considered Val a brilliant actor, enjoyed working with him on ‘Bad Lieutenant’, and believed Val deserved the Oscar for ‘The Doors’. Jennifer Tilly shared a story on Twitter about Val’s incredible audition for ‘The Doors’. She recalled an unusual audition process where Val arrived in a 60s convertible, blaring The Doors music, wearing only tight leather pants. Everyone was amazed by his bold entrance and knew from that moment on, no one else could compete. Rest in peace, King.” Tributes for Val have been shared by Kevin Smith, Josh Brolin, Francis Ford Coppola, and others as well.
