Val Kilmer in a scene from the documentary “Val.” (Courtesy of A24)
The actor Val Kilmer sits behind a table at a Comic Con in London, looking pale and unsteady. His voice has been reduced to a whispering rasp after tracheostomy surgery for throat cancer in 2015 – although the good news is, the surgery was successful – and he tries to smile gamely as fan after fan asks him to sign posters and photos of his Iceman character in “Top Gun,” always asking for the same caption: “You can be my wingman any time. Iceman.”
Kilmer signals he needs a break, and we see him vomiting into a trash can before he is wheeled out of the convention, with a blanket covering his face so nobody can see it’s Val Kilmer.
