Iceman has died!

tlawler · Apr 2, 2025

I just read that Val Kilmer has died at a young 65. I knew he had been ill, but very surprised at his passing. I always liked his acting, and though he was known mainly as Iceman from Top Gun, he had a lot of good roles. R.I.P. Mr. Kilmer…fair wind and following seas. Godspeed sir!

Loved him in Tombstone and Thunderheart. R.I.P. Doc, and thanks for the good times!

I had hope this was an April Fool. But no. Sad, a good actor. Loved him as Doc. RIP.

Sad loss. He had quite a broad body of work. He was great in the spy comedy Top Secret.

RIP Val and THANKS for the memories...

Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.

From tongue in cheek to stone cold the man had range.
He caught my eye way back when in Willow.
Rest in Peace

RIP Thunderheart

RIP Val. He’s been in poor health for a while.
His performance as Doc in Tombstone raises that Movie from good to Great!

R.I.P. and God Bless Val.

RIP to a fine actor, and from what I know a very decent human being.

Val's mother had a winter home in a patrol area I supervised , and we would get 3-4 alarm calls there a year, usually when it was windy and the home was unoccupied. On one occasion, one of my Deputies responded, expecting to find an empty house, and Val answered the door. He was very personable and polite, but we chastised the Deputy for not getting an autograph!

I think we'll have to pick one of his movies to watch tonight... there are many good ones to choose from.

And don´t forget his portrayal of Col. John Henry Patterson in The Ghost and the Darkness.

His performance in the Top Gun sequel showed how truly ill he was. I understand that it was only the insistence of Tom Cruise that a role was created for him in this film. For me, his best role was in "Heat". RIP.

Really sorry to see him go.
RIP, Doc

Doc Holliday or Jim Morrison, he "became" his roles. One story from the Tombstone set told how he walked around in his spare time flipping that shot mug back & forth to practice his bar scene with Johnny Ringo. Great actor gone...for now.

R.I.P. Val. Never saw a movie with Val in that I didn't like. Just kind of elevated it up several notches.

Iceman has died!
