Actor Val Kilmer passed away at 65 from from pneumonia. He had somewhat recovered after battling throat cancer diagnosis in 2014 that required two tracheotomies.

Val Kilmer had a reputation for being difficult. However, Val would throw himself into parts for the sake of Art.

Critics widely believe that Val Kilmer should have won an Academy Award
Oscar award for best supporting actor in 1993 for his unforgettable portrayal as Doc Holiday in the movie, Tombstone.

Critics also believed that Val Should have won an Oscar for his work in the Movie Heat in 1995 with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.

Someone on youtube once wrote of Val Kilmer's performance in Tombstone. If Doc Holiday himself was performing in the Movie Tombstone, Director's would say, perform the part like Val Kilmer did. That may well be the best compliment of all. Val was in other notable roles like Top Gun, Batman and others.
