Val Kilmer, known for his role as Bruce Wayne in "Batman Forever," embodied Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's "The Doors," and portrayed the ailing Doc Holliday in "Tombstone," passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 65.

His daughter, Mercedes, told The New York Times that the cause was pneumonia. He had been battling throat cancer for several years, according to a report by variety.com.

The baby-faced blonde actor had a solid run as a leading man with a volatile reputation in the ’80s and ’90s, starring in “Top Gun,” “Real Genius,” “Willow,” “Heat,” and “The Saint.” 

Val returned briefly to screens in 2022’s “Top Gun: Maverick” although he could no longer speak due to his cancer.
