Iceman has died!

[grover99]

Over the years I have watched lot of movies with Doc Holliday portrayed in them. None came close to doing it so well as Val. Just not many actors that did every thing so well. He will be missed.

True Romance - Val as Elvis

I thought this thread was in regard to the original "Iceman", Jerry Butler, who also died recently.

I was worried George Gervin had gone on in . . .

Great actor who nailed many great roles.

RIP Sir.

Heat

Loved that movie.

I guess there are many "Icemen"...

HEAT. The best running gun battle ever.

I always liked Val. Same age as myself.

 

[Rustyt1953]

His entire body of work is impressive. He sold me on every character he portrayed.

While sad at his passing I take comfort in that his suffering is over as throat cancer, in its final stage, is excruciatingly painful.

RIP, Huckleberry

Last movie I saw him in was "The Birthday Cake"
He could barely speak.

Everybody needs a friend like Doc.

Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: "Doc, you oughta be in bed, what the hell you doin' this for anyway?"
Doc Holliday: "Wyatt Earp is my friend."
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: "Hell, I got lots of friends."
Doc Holliday: "..I don't."

I don't especially like Tom Cruise, but his insistence that Kilmer appear in the Top Gun sequel gave him points in my book. RIP Iceman.

I got confused until I realized you meant Nick Rivers.

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

It's been 30 or so years and I am still in awe of his performance in Tombstone.

P.S. I remain saddened by the circumstances of Gene Hackman's passing...

 

[rwsmith]

Aw man....

Sorry to hear that but yes. he's been very ill, he was barely able to make those scenes in the 'Maverick' movie, it wasn't 'acting'. And his voice was dubbed with AI samples of his own voice.

I remember first seeing him in 'Top Secret'.




I guess that now he really is a wingman.

Great actor and one of my favorites.
Gods speed, and may you rest in peace Ice !
