2. Sorry Val Kilmer is gone.

There are so many movies I love. Real Genius, The Doors, Top Gun, Tombstone, Deja Vu, Batman Forever--he was a versatile actor and he will be missed. Thanks for the post.

3. Ever since I saw "Real Genius," I knew that this man would make a lot of really great movies

And so he did. I was told he was sort of ashamed of Real Genius, but I found it hilarious and really well-made despite the somewhat primitive humor behind it. He made it work. I thought that if he could do that, he could do most any kind of role, and so he did.

4. Completely Agree On Real Genius

Yeah, the ending is silly, but there are good characters & some snappy writing.
I was not aware he didn't care for the movie. He shouldn't have been ashamed of it.

7. He was apparently hoping for a more "serious" role to establish himself

And he didn't feel Chris Knight was it. Still, he played the role so well, that it didn't matter. He got the recognition he deserved, and went on to get some roles with more depth in very short order.

5. See you on the other side, Iceman.

I have a friend who has been a Kilmer superfan for years. I’ll have to reach out to her today.

6. The BEST Doc Holliday.

Val Kilmer made the line..."I'm your Huckleberry" infamous.

R.I.P Val...
