Val Kilmer’s career began on the stage before quickly transitioning to the big screen, starring opposite Michelle Pfeiffer in ABC Afterschool Special in 1983. Kilmer would then go on to star opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun not long after, establishing himself as a hot star. His star status rose even higher when he was cast as Jim Morrison of The Doors. Kilmer’s lasting impression in Hollywood, however, would be for his role in Heat, in which he co-starred with legendary actors Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
