So sorry to hear it.🥺

He will always be "Ice" to me. May he rest in peace, and my condolences to his family and friends.

"I'm your huckleberry."

My dad loved that line. I heard him repeat it many tines.

R.I.P., Val Kilmer....

He'd been sick a long time....

I enjoyed his acting.

Damn it, he was a good one. I hope he's feeling better now he's been struggling for so long...

His roles in "Tombstone" and "Heat" will be what I remember him for.

He's been some kind of sick I know that.

RIP Batman

I try to catch the killing of Ringo every chance the movie is on. Was my fav. Very sad loss. He looked rough in Maverick. RIP!

I knew he was fighting cancer, very sad.

RIP

...I had a meeting with the costume designer at SIR Studios in Hollywood.

The director wanted the actors playing The Doors to actually play their instruments during the music performance scenes, so they were rehearsing the songs to that end.

When I arrived at SIR, Val was standing in the hall outside the studio where the other actors were running through the tunes.

He was in character as Jim Morrison, and, as a "method actor," once he became Jim, he stayed in character, until all the scenes were shot, completed, and on film.

So when I met him at SIR, I met Jim Morrison, not Val Kilmer. He introduced himself to me as "Jim."

It was kinda weird.

Oh, and, the actors playing their instruments in the film did not work out, they were not good enough to pull it off.

I remember an interview with Val where he said it took a while to leave the character after the film was done. He had absorbed so much of Jim he couldn't just switch it off. That's how he made it so real--he became him.

...I am not surprised he said that in the interview.

Jim Morrison was an intense person, I guess you could say.

So I can believe that the transformation back to himself/Val may have taken some effort after his prolonged time as "Jim."

I always said he was channeling Morrison. And I had loved Jim Morrison since I was 14.

Real Genius. Silly 80s movie that I still sit down and watch.

Always enjoyed his movies. Real Genius was my favorite

So sad to hear the news....

I honestly though he had beaten the cancer and was making a comeback . . . RIP

yes, too young

He was two years younger than me. Always weird when you see that.

He was great!

I loved him, he was such a good actor. Everything he did he did with such passion. Even his comedy performances, like Kiss, Kiss , Bang ,Bang or Top Secret and The Saint. He was the best Jim Morrison I could imagine.

Unfortunately, it’s on Prime. Still highly recommended.

He also played Simon Templar in The Saint.
