Val Kilmer stars as Tom Iceman Kazansky in Top Gun. (Paramount Pictures)
27 May 2021
Val Kilmer never followed the career plan that Hollywood wanted for him, and now the (true) maverick actor is the subject of a new documentary called “Val.”
Kilmer has suffered from health issues over the past few years, and he now has difficulty speaking because of a tracheotomy after a throat cancer diagnosis. He looked back on his career and medical problems in the 2020 memoir I m Your Huckleberry.
His everlasting fame comes from his performance as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, Pete Mitchell’s nemesis and grudging ally in “Top Gun.” He’s not in the movie for very long, but he makes a huge impression. Kilmer will return as Iceman in the upcoming sequel, “Top Gun: Maverick.”
