Our Huckleberry Friend – The Films of Val Kilmer, Part 2

“Interesting characters are troubled characters. The only problem I’ve had in my business is very few people – unfortunately, very vocal – confusing the difficult role that I play with me. I play these guys, but I’m not like them.” – Val Kilmer

Val Kilmer’s film career is a rich tapestry of diverse roles that highlight his remarkable versatility and commitment to character.

With a succession of iconic roles to choose from we celebrate the life and career of this incredible artist. We’d be his wingman anytime!

Top Secret!:

From the makers of Airplane! comes a deliriously absurd Cold War comedy that mashes up Elvis musicals and spy thrillers into one gloriously goofy ride. Val Kilmer makes his big screen debut as Nick Rivers—a rock ’n’ roll heartthrob who finds himself entangled in espionage behind the Iron Curtain.  A nonstop barrage of sight gags, slapstick antics, and surreal set pieces that demand rewatching just to catch every joke, Kilmer’s pitch-perfect performance, complete with original songs, is ultimately what cements Top Secret! as a cult classic that’s as clever as it is ridiculous.
