While they’re known for entirely different kinds of films, Jim Carrey and Val Kilmer are two actors who will be remembered for their talent. The past two days have been filled with emotional tributes to Kilmer, who was recognized as an actor who got lost in his roles. He got so immersed that he lamented in his memoir losing relationships in his quest to honor the character. Carrey and Kilmer only acted together in Batman Forever, but his extraordinary genius left a notable mark on Carrey.
Carrey Admired Him for His Courage
“I’m remembering Val Kilmer today with great admiration for him as a man and as a generational talent who left us an enviable legacy of indelible acting performances,” Carrey said in a statement shared with USA TODAY. “His greatest artistic achievements were rivaled only by the grace and courage with which he endured his life’s most challenging moments. Wishing his family so much love.”
Kilmer Couldn’t Help Bringing His Characters Home
One of Kilmer’s most acclaimed performances was as Doc Holliday in the 1993 film Tombstone. Michael Biehn, who played one of the main antagonists, remembered Kilmer staying in character most of the time, whether the camera was rolling or not. âThere was a tension between us because our characters didnât like one another, so we didnât even interact on the set,â Biehn told CBS42. âI had a tendency to hang out with (actor) Powers Booth, and he (Kilmer) had a tendency to hang out with Kurt (Russell).â
