Thank you Val for working on Top Gun 2. You were fantastic.

Years ago, I met Val at a convention in Australia and he was also a favorite of my Mothers, she adored him in Tombstone and often quoted "I'm your Huckleberry" to me. As he signed my photos and Tombstone Bluray cover, I said to him, "My mum would have loved to met you", he said, "Well where is she?", I replied "Unfortunately she wouldn't be able to handle large crowds like this" and jokingly continued to say "I could get her on the phone to say hello though". Val said "Sure" a few minutes later Val was chatting to my Mother and told her "Wish you could have come today, we miss you here" My Mother was over the moon to chat with him saying her favorite quote back to him and they shared a laugh. I brought home a personalized signed photo to my mother of Val as Doc Holiday, which hung on her wall until her passing. I now have that photo and the most wonderful memory of Val making my mothers day. Thank you, Val.

Man he was so healthy back then. God bless Val. He's a fighter man.

He deserved an award for his portraying of Jim Morrison. No one could have done it so well.

Amazing actor. Breaks my heart to see him going through the throat cancer battle. If it hadn't been for that, I know for sure he'd still be making top movies today and perhaps be playing top roles and be as good looking as always. Hang in there buddy! 🙏

Watching Val speak... And seeing him today... And how he stole the scene from Tom without saying a word... will make anyone emotional.

This dude as Doc Holiday is still the pinnacle of an actor's ability.

His portrayal of doc holiday was Oscar worthy

Vals limited time on top gun two maverick are the types of scenes that stick to you long after the movie is over. It was so beautiful that he was included and that they were able to bring life to his no longer working vocal cords. Just hauntingly beautiful, I love, love, loved, that part of the movie as much as any other part! I've seen it twice so far, love you Val, praying that you continue to lead a meaningful, productive life for the rest of your time!

Never saw a bad or boring movie with Val Kilmer. Very good actor, very good taste in choosing roles.

I'm sure most people are aware of Val's battle with throat cancer..If anyone is a praying person, please send up prayers for Val to win his fight!!! Much Love!

One of the greatest actors of his generation. Far to little credit is given to Val for his acting ability.

To have Val Kilmer back in Top Gun 2 and tell Tom Cruise he’s STILL DANGEROUS would be priceless.

Just seen Top Gun: Maverick It was great to see Val in the film. He’s definitely one of my all time favorite actors. Top ten for sure

Small part in Top Gun 2, but one of the most memorable. Iceman lives forever!

Val Kilmer is an extremely underated actor, The Saint and Real Genius were awesome movies. Love watching this guy take on different roles.

wish they did the movie when val was still healthy, but the maverick movie was still epic. nostalgia

His part in Top Gun 2 was absolutely perfect. I’m so glad that he was in it.

Top Gun 2 was an excellent film, and a clinic to all production companies and directors across the world of what a sequel should be. Long live the Iceman!

I absolutely loved his character in "Heat", one of my favorite movies EVER.

He’s a gifted actor. Loved him in Tombstone, Top Gun and The Saint

Saw maverick in the theater, the scene with Val got me choked up.

Val is not just an actor, he's part of an history stage, top gun, the saint, he deserves more, god bless you Val

Kilmer was as important to that film as cruise was!! It won't be top gun without both of them

I watched Top Gun Maverick. It was bittersweet to see him after so long. However I felt quite sad what happened to him. Used to be so young, strong, full of energy, now he lost his voice. Good to see him here before he lost his voice.

So grateful he was able to be a part of Top Gun Maverick... Loved him as Iceman in the original but his performance as Doc Holiday will always be my favorite.

I hope Kilmer is well and healthy. Best of luck to him!

Tony Scott! What a legend. Nice to hear kind words from Val.

You made a Marine cry when I saw you again Val. You still have it ! Charisma a professionalism.

*Salutes to you Iceman*

I love his movie 'The Ghost and The Darkness' .... It has contributed a lot in raging spirit of adventure in me . Val and Douglas both did a great job .

Val’s scene in Top Gun Maverick was one for the ages. Incredible acting with (almost) no speaking.

I served on a carrier for four years. I know that feeling when you see a jet take off from the deck for the first time. AMAZING! The Top Gun theme music played through my head the whole time.

Such a great actor very underrated.. he should have won an Oscar for playing Doc Holliday in Tombstone what a great performance.

Everybody loves you Val. You´re a masterpiece. Keep it up.

Man, you made me cry in maverick. Great actor.

love Val absolute legend... really tragic the hardship and battles he has gone through these past years after this interview. took a major toll on him but he is a survivor!

His Acting in Tombstone, Thunderheart and Heat should have won him some type of award. Or at least a nomination between the three.

I miss his voice 😢

My first introduction to Val Kilmer was from the movie Willow

Val was awesome with DeNiro and Pacino in Heat

Val Kilmer, thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Val captured the essence of Doc Holiday in Tombstone. It was for me the most incredible performance I have ever seen. I liked Ice Man and Maverick together but Doc Holiday has become more of hero than ever. I'll be your huckleberry!! LOVE IT!!

Hysterical in Real Genius and as Nick Rivers in Top Secret.

Vilmer gave one of the best performances of all times in Tombstone....

I heard a great story about Val Kilmer once that brought a smile to my face. Apparently he was in some nightclub in france or England for a night out. Two guys who did not know him were sitting at the bar and having a good time. One guy gets up to take a leak and runs into Val in the Bathroom. He respectfully asked if Val could wind up his bar mate by pretending to know the guy in the bathroom like they were old friends. Val agreed. The guy walks back to the bar and brags that he ran into his Old Friend, Val Kilmer. The barmate called Bullshit , Until a couple of minutes later, Val Strolls up and talks to the guy from the bathroom like their were old friends. The Other guy just watched, Amazed. That is a Great Story and a great actor. Should have won the Oscar for Tombstone, as the best performance of the 20th century. RH DSD

Without Val Kilmer, there wont be a perfect Top Gun. He brings the "ice coolness" to the show.

Wow! This is before Val lost his voice. His appearance in Maverick is so sad and beautiful. Hope he gets better. God bless you Iceman.

I met Val... He is a really great guy, very down to earth....

One of the greatest actors of all time and one of the MOST UNDERRATED! It's a shame he didn't get a Oscar for either Doc or Morrison. And also loved him in a ton of other movies that didnt get the credit they deserve like thunder heart and ghost in the darkness.

Just watched top gun maverick and so happy to see val kilmer even for a few minutes, so sad to see him now unable to speak properly. Would have been amazing if he never had the throat cancer and had a major role in top gun maverick alongside tom cruise, iceman would have sorted out hangman

Playing Doc Holliday will always be his definitive role for me.

Great that Val was able to play a part in TG2. Fantastic sequel.

He is great in Willow, Tombstone and Heat. Love Val.

To sad to see one of the greatest actors go down hill so fast. Val for life. The Saint was my favorite movie

Here watching this in 2022, Love Val Kilmer, such a talent and clearly one of the nice guys.

This is heartbreaking that this was only 8 years ago.

Amazing that it finally happened. It was great to see Val and Tom again. What a fun sequel!!

Nice to listen to an interview with Val Kilmer☺️

Val was and is one of the most beautiful human beings to exist on the big screen. His part in TG2 was small but probably my favorite and most important. I cry every time I saw it (three times lol) and think about it. ❤️

I truly love Val Kilmer. He is a great actor and I think misunderstood by people a lot. That does not however make him less great. I do truly wish however that they would make a movie of Doc Holladay and his life story starring Val again as Doc. That would be a GREAT movie.

What an angel! It’s heartbreaking knowing what he’s gone through with cancer. I watched his documentary today and it made me so happy seeing him with his fans and sharing how he’s been. It made me cry a lot too especially seeing how he has to talk now. He’s making the most of it though and it makes me happy that his kids are always with him! He’s such a sweetheart! When I was little I loved Willow and his character Madmartigan was always my favorite. My dad liked my combine different movie characters into games and stories for me and sister and he was one of them for a long time I thought he was real! Val and his movies mean so much to me he created a lot of my childhood ❤️

I'm Class of 1986, you look at the Top Gun clips and realize these guys were 25 year old young men when they made the movie. They looked and acted like kids, and that's how I will always remember them.

Val is one phenomenal actor. He did a movie called First Sight with Mira Sorvino. Small budget film but he was amazing. He played a man who recovered his sight as an adult. He went into a store and crashed right through a glass window. I just knew he was going to be nominated just for the way he portrayed the fear and uncertainty behind that character. The Saint was also impressive. I can't pick a bad film I've seen him in.👍😊

What a man we were graced with... thank you Val. You will always be remembered as a deep soul with understanding of life beyond what most fathom.

Val Kilmer seems like one of the very few HONEST actors out there. So if he is telling us that some of these people were really nice people and loved working on films ...then it's probably true. So sad that some of them are gone now.

We Love You Val Kilmer you are a Awesome actor !

Just watched Top Gun 2. Nd i must say it was great movie nd loved to see him in it. It was a short role but worth it

Val Kilmer is one of this generations most under appreciated actors. He's an enormous talent that has significantly added to every movie I've seen him in, and completely redefined the role in some (Tombstone). I was SO glad he was in TG2: Maverick. would not have seen the movie without him.

Val is excellent in The Ghost and the Darkness and The Saint.

I just watched Top Gun: Maverick and I almost cried by the scene with Iceman and Maverick.

Thank you Val and Tom for Top Gun 2, wonderful movie!

Everybody loves him as Doc Holiday in Tombstone but my favorite Val Kilmer character is Chris Knight from Real Genius. I love that movie.

Thunderheart was an underrated movie. Great performance by Kilmer.

Val Kilmer gave us something no other actor could in Maverick. Thank you!

thank you :)

Top Gun Maverick is brilliant better than the first! Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer did an amazing job! Good job from director Joseph Kosinski. RIP Tony Scott! 🙏

For a moment I thought what a relief he still looks fine and then I realize this was taken in 2013 😢 I cannot accept any mishap to any of these kings and queens of Hollywood that we grew up with 😢 There should be a law to forbid them from quitting filmmaking 😢

Very happy to see that he is feeling better !

Beautiful voice. Miss you Val!

Kilmer should've won an Oscar for Tombstone.

"It was fun to not like him [Tom Cruise]..." ...and it still is! :)

Oh boy that moment when Ice and Maverick hugged each other in the Topgun2, something came out of my eyes…so vital moment in the movie. Thank you Val! Hang in there man!

Val is one of my favorite actors!

I have watched lots of Val Kilmer interviews I find him fascinating, He has always talked a little slow he is so full of authenticity he inspires me to live life in the moment. I also believe he should have gotten a oscar maybe even a couple but from listening to him when he talks about the films he has chosen to be a part of. I get the impression that a oscar is not his main objective he does not really even care if he is the lead character in the find he chooses. One Movie that comes to mind is Heat which he played 2nd lead when he asked why he took it he said because he gets to work with De Niro and Pacino he is a true artist who loves to live life and truly entertain people he is simply a joy to watch and to listen too. Btw he had to gain weight for either a film role or a performance in the theater if you google him now you will see he is in great shape. I pray his throat surgery does not affect his voice he has some great vocal abilities.

anyone here after his appearance in top gun 2?

Loved his scene in Top gun 2. Very powerful actor.

This was one of Vals last interviews before he lost his voice..Forever!

I'd love to see Iceman in the air. Val is a truly great actor.

Wish they would had made it when he still had a voice but still a very powerful actor

wow, how quick he went downhill, they gave you a wonderful send off in top gun 2. Amazing actor.

I met Val at San Jose Improv when he showed his mini movie about Mark Twain. He was super friendly; and his voice was extremely raspy and kinda hard to understand. When I met him face to face ; I said Hi Val; I’m Jenn & then he replied with “Hi Jenn ; I’m Val” .

Val's story of Tony Scott having tears in his eyes for "getting the shot" is great. What a talent.

Loved him as Doc Holiday!!!

You did it Val, you did it 😤💪🏼

Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman my fav 2 actors.

Watch-Willow...Val was GREATNESS!!!

Forget Top Gun 2! Val should make Top Secret 2

Val Kilmer is a KING! good bless him.

Val in the Saint and Willow are my favorite movie of him
