LOS ANGELES (AP) — Val Kilmer, the brooding, versatile actor who played fan favorite Iceman in “Top Gun,” donned a voluminous cape as Batman in “Batman Forever” and portrayed Jim Morrison in “The Doors,” has died. He was 65.
Kilmer died Tuesday night in Los Angeles, surrounded by family and friends, his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, said in an email to The Associated Press.
Val Kilmer died from pneumonia. He had recovered after a 2014 throat cancer diagnosis that required two tracheotomies.
Of course, let's not forget his role as "Nick Rivers" in the ZAZ classic "Top Secret!".
RIP, Val.

Sad news today.
I recall seeing if the first time when he was young...and I went "boing" almost immediately. Don't recall the movies now but boy was he hot. I didn't mind his Batman either.
I remember going to see "Real Genius". He set my loins all aflutter! He aged well even as the throat cancer took its toll on him.
Sad. Fly free, Val....
