I thought he was a genius actor.
I enjoyed working with him on Bad Lieutenant, and I admired his commitment and sense of humor.
He should have won the Oscar forThe Doors.

The Doors Oliver Stones biopic of 60s rocker Jim Morrison was one of Kilmers defining roles.
After so many years of Val battling disease and maintaining his spirit, this is tremendously sad news.
Kilmers breakout role came as LT Tom Iceman Kazansky opposite Tom Cruise inTop Gun(1986).
That was followed by the fantasy filmWillow(1988).
His big break as a leading man was in StonesThe Doors.
Kilmers career was given a poignant coda when he reprised Iceman inTop Gun: Maverick(2022).
