Tombstone was his best effort IMO. Read where he was not happy playing Batman and turned down the opportunity to do a second movie. RIP Val.

No love in here for Kilmer in Willow?
Buncha whippersnappers

I maintain that Madmartigan is the greatest role he ever played. Holiday is a close 2nd. I love his cameo in the Jay and Silent Bob movie too.

Jay North of Dennis the Menace fame passed at 73.

Wow, blast from the past! I remember watching those on Nickelodeon as a kid in the 80s. I still hear this jingle from this commercial in my head from time to time:

Awful. I know he had his legal trouble which probably put an end to his career but sad nonetheless to see someone so young with so much talent go so soon.

He screwed up big time and made a disgusting, heinous mistake, but to off yourself … man … that’s tough.

Sadly, you read and hear about this happening all the time — not necessarily the suicide part, but tremendously gifted athletes in Louisiana who end up behind bars or never amounting to anything. So many kids in Louisiana and the Deep South that don’t have a chance from the moment they are born … so many shithead “parents” out there.

Given his dad's statement, you deserve the same "real classy" comment you tossed at someone else.

Just a reminder: there is no reward for being the first to correctly identify whatever the issue was when someone takes their own life.

Dude..relax...it was a joke, it's not like I killed an innocent person while they were driving home from getting milk.
I see we’re doubling down…never mentioned Lacy was a swell guy. Very far from it, actually. And please know, I’m not worked up…your post wasn’t too bad and I do recognize you from your posts in football threads (maybe because you’re in SEC territory/Georgia?) and you’ve always come across as a decent, good guy.
