Val Kilmer is the reason I love Tombstone so much. His one liners, and his portrayal of Doc Holliday - just superb. And it's pitiful, almost unbelievable, that the Academy didn't nominate him for best supporting actor. In my heart, he won it. Also, really happy Tom Cruise wouldn't do Top Gun Maverick without Val as Iceman. :)

Actually it was his children that recommended he go seek the standard toxic treatment of chemotherapy and radiation. They didn't know any better. But in this day and age I can't believe people aren't aware of Gershon or Chris Beats Cancer, therapies that don't poison and burn but address the cause and change the lifestyle. Not many survive chemo. They either die, are either permanently scarred, or it keeps coming back after spreading to the marrow, bones or liver. I feel sorry for him.

So... he made enemies for having high standards? No one bothered to mention why people hated working with him or whether it was for valid reasons or not. If his refusal to compromise his standards was taken as him challenging the authority of his superiors, then maybe it's the control obsessed superiors that were the difficult ones? This just leaves me with more questions than I had before it.

A director is in charge for a reason. I'm sure every actor on set thinks they know better and would like to do everything their own way. When the director allows that you end up with chaos. If he wants everything his own way do what Tom Cruis did, create your own projects and be a part of every decision. Don't just come on set demanding everyone else dances to your tune including the other actors. What makes you think he knew better than all the other people working on the project? If so where his his directorial breakthroughs?

@rezarfar 2 года назад

You work with people every day, doing everyday jobs, there are hundreds of people on set, many are paid peanuts. Most actors or actresses don't act like dicks, but the ones who do, will get singled out. Most people on set don't get paid enough for that shit. Val Kilmer was a dick.

@Empathy4Animals411 Год назад

He's only in remission, as he went through multiple rounds of chemotherapy which only make the cancerous cells spread, and radiation, which burns the inside of your throat. He's obviously so intelligent, yet he runs straight to toxic pharma for cancer treatment with no cures. It either kills you right away or comes back, leaving you permanently scarred. Actually it was his children that convinced him to get the poison therapy, not knowing any better. I can't believe that no one he knew suggested non-toxic therapies like Gershon or Chris Beats Cancer that address the cause, change the lifestyle and don't make the cancer worse. What a shame.

I loved seeing him in Top Gun Maverick. I’m so glad they put him in the movie. They did it brilliantly. It’s sad what happened to him, but he’s still alive and can still give love to those close to him.

Val Kilmer has probably next to one of the greatest actors I have ever watched you left out his roll in Thunderheart which was an awesome movie as well he’s a great actor I’d like to see more before he decides to retire but he’s left a very impressive legacy in movies !

@jasoncarpp7742 2 года назад

I see nothing tragic about Val Kilmer's life. We all have had tragic things happen in our lives, parents die, siblings eventually die, friends die. But this video makes it sound like Val Kilmer's life was one big tragedy after another. I respectfully disagree. As long as he's alive, it's still good for him.

@Empathy4Animals411 Год назад

Sadly there's not much quality of life after getting several rounds of chemotherapy in addition to radiation. He survived the poison and burning, but it's only in remission. I feel sorry for him that he didn't seek other treatment that heals by addressing the cause and changing the lifestyle, diet, toxicity etc.

@natural-born_pilot Год назад

I agree and the ‘feel sorry for me’ video was just squeezing the bucks out further and worked as planned because it added more fans who probably didn’t think he was all that good before. You are spot on with “ we all have tragic things happen in our lives” and many, many more people have a whole lot more. So all those bleeding hearts who struggle daily to make ends meet he’s got tons of money.

@ericathegypsy4946 2 года назад

Val Kilmer is a perfectionist. He believes in his acting and art, which Hollywood couldn’t handle!

@natural-born_pilot Год назад

Yes but don’t you think that blowing off a shot at a hamburger commercial because he didn’t believe in burgers is totally stupid not to mention a poor decision in his occupational progress. I’m sure there is one person out there great full to him for that.

I can't speak on behalf of anyone else, but as a 55 year old man, your gift on the big screen is greatly appreciated by this fan. The Doors and Heat are 2 of my all-time favorite flicks....I wish you nothing but good health moving forward! God Bless and thank you for your contributions to the Arts.... through your performances, you helped many of us escape our own problems in life, if only for a few hours.

That was Magical 😀🤣, as well as enlightening. Just recently A couple of My Friends have recovered from Throat Cancer, over the Past Four too Five years. Too talk about The Actor Val Killer, he has always been A Astronomically Talented Actor! Plus his Film or Stage presence is so in Measurable, being that He puts so Much of His Soul, Heart, & Himself, into all that He did throughout His Life & His Career. The portion You spoke of His Ex Wife, was very coincidental as I think 🤔 I'd heard that Happened? But yet I was never for certain. The film they did Together "WILLOW" is a favorite of Mine. His Ex-Wife exceptionally Gorgeous, & Very Talented as well. IT is very Tragic, what has come of this Man's Life. But it isn't over Yet? For even though He has had Illness, Troubles, Heartache, n Heartbreak. By the Sounds of His Actions n Kid's, plus His willingness to Forge A Head this Man is not Finished with Life. Thank You for sharing this with US. Wyoming, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👀👀👍👍🙏🙏🙏

I'm glad that Val kilmer was able to defeat cancer but it did a number on him unfortunately it was such a downer seeing that Val was talking with a microphone in his throat just like jack klugman was doing in his final years, tombstone was one of the best westerns ever and Val kilmer was the best doc Holliday ever and thunderheart was a great movie and was a true story
