He was an actor that always seemed to deliver a quality performance. As far as I'm concerned, he will always be "Doc".

Sad news.
NYTimes wrote:In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2012, Mr. Kilmer spoke about his absence from mainstream Hollywood for a decade or more and acknowledged that his career arc had been unusual. He had other interests, he said; he wanted to hang out with his kids.

He was one of the best for sure. He should have gotten an Academy Award for his role in Tombstone. 65 is to young. RIP Doc

He was in so many good movies:

Tombstone, of course, one of his best.
Top Gun, another great role.
Heat.
Thunderheart. - FBI Agent in conflict
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - a favorite
The Ghost in the Darkness. Another winner

Always felt if he was in it, it would be good.
RIP Sir.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Dang, just seeing this. I was thought he was a Hell of a performer.
I read where he sang all those sounds in the "Doors" movie.
Of course, he Killed it as Doc.
RIP

We watched Tombstone last night in honor of him. One of our favorite movies.
