Val Kilmer, the legendary actor known for his unforgettable performances as Batman, Doc Holiday, and Jim Morrison, has passed away at the age of 65. His career was defined by a mix of intensity, charm, and an ability to completely embody the roles he played.

To me, though, he will always be Tom ‘Ice Man’ Kazansky—the cocky yet cool fighter pilot from Top Gun, a role that cemented his place in cinematic history.

Kilmer’s talent and presence on screen were undeniable, and his contributions to film will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Ice.
