Legendary actor Val Kilmer passed away yesterday at the age of 65. Val’s daughter Mercedes said that he died of pneumonia.
Val got his start in the early ‘80s and quickly became a star in Hollywood after landing roles in some great comedies, like “Top Secret!” and “Real Genius.” His next biggest role, quite possibly the one most know him for, was playing alongside Tom Crruise in “Top Gun” as Iceman.
He got even bigger in the ‘90s, playing Jim Morrison in “The Doors” and was Batman in “Batman Forever.”
From “Tombstone” to “True Romance,” Val’s resume of big Hollywood movies is quite impressive. According to “People,” he even provided the voice of KITT in the “Knight Rider” sequel series that aired in 2008 and 2009.
Despite being a huge star, Val stepped away from Hollywood in the 2000s to explore other interests and spend time with his family.
Val is survived by his two adult children, Mercedes and Jack, who he had with his ex-wife actress Joanne Whalley.
