RIP

Charismatic and versatile, he also won praise for memorable roles as Iceman in 'Top Gun' and Doc Holliday in 'Tombstone,' but his unpredictable behavior ruffled some feathers in Hollywood.

Val was a great actor. Best wishes to his friends and family in this trying time.

How sad. He was indeed memorable in his roles.

Btw, I happened to see him in person one time many years ago, when I worked at the Beverly Center shopping mall in LA. I remember he looked straight at me, from a distance.

RIP, he was a good actor. I enjoyed his work.

He was ill and going through treatment when he was in the last top gun movie so I'm sure his last years of his life was filled with pain and suffering... so you guys who give this a "so what or Oh well"... be thankful you haven't been and hope to God you never will be where this man has been...

Ok. Oh well.

Your time is closer than you think, everyone’s is. Based on your comments, I’m not hoping it goes well for you in the end.

Maybe. Maybe not.


When it’s my time, it’s my time. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’ll deal with it when the time comes.

I was never a fan of his, but rather sad that he died at 65.

Hackman , Foreman and now Val

I never went to see a movie because of any of them, and I don't know if you know this, but since their death, there has come out some really strange revelations and questions about just what happened at the Hackman's.

Damn. My favorite of his was Doc Holiday in Tombstone.

Agreed

He was interesting in the movie The Doors in which he played Jim Morrison. People want freedom and good health. As we age, our bodies which once were such an asset can betray us.

Wow RiP to one of the great ones. Val lost his voice later in life and suffered from a number of health issues. I loved him in Heat,

He was great in tombstone. Did ok in batman. I think Batman is a hard role for a lot of people.
