In the 1986 film Top Gun, Val Kilmer portrayed Navy pilot Tom "Iceman" Kazansky. The nickname "Iceman" reflected his calm, calculated demeanor and flawless flying skills. Kilmer’s career spanned a wide range of roles, including his portrayal of rock legend Jim Morrison in The Doors and the caped crusader in Batman Forever. The iconic actor passed away in Los Angeles on Tuesday at the age of 65 from pneumonia. His death followed a long health battle that began with a 2014 throat cancer diagnosis, which led to a tracheostomy, chemotherapy, and radiation before the disease went into remission.
