The late Val Kilmer was a massive movie icon of the 1980s and 1990s, known for his ability to fully immerse himself into his characters. From portraying fictional rockstars like Nick Rivers and real ones like Jim Morrison and Elvis Presley, to wild west legends like Doc Holliday and caped crusaders like Batman, Kilmer put every ounce of his being into his art.
