The unreal 10-year run that defined Val Kilmer’s career

When we lost Val Kilmer this past week, I ended up perusing his IMDB page, and I came away with one over-arching thought...

Few actors have had a 10-year run of dominance like Val did to kick off his career.

Don’t just take my word for it...listen to this resume!

I haven’t even mentioned the acting clinic he put on in 1993’s Tombstone, uttering iconic lines like “I’m your Huckleberry” with chilling perfection.

From genius student to cocky pilot, fantasy warrior, rock god, dying gunslinger, brooding superhero, and hardened criminal – all in ten years. It was a display of talent and screen presence that cemented his place as a true Hollywood legend, even if things got a little weird for Val later on.
