Charismatic and versatile, he also won praise for memorable roles as Iceman in 'Top Gun' and Doc Holliday in 'Tombstone,' but his unpredictable behavior ruffled some feathers in Hollywood.

      This reads like pneumonia died, and somewhat like he killed it.

    He used to comment occasionally on reddit. I interacted with him there once. He seemed very gracious and down-to-earth.

      Ain’t that the truth!

      If you got him talking about his art, you could end up in these long, deep conversations with him, and he was always just so damn nice.

      I wish like hell the account I talked to him on the most didn’t get nuked during the protests. I can’t go back and revisit those conversations now.

      The guy was just well rounded, smart, and as you said very down to earth.

      It wouldn’t be accurate to call him a friend, but I liked him a lot. Like, if he had figured out where I live and had knocked on my door, I would have invited him in; there’s family members I don’t let in my door, and I’m paranoid as hell about strangers showing up uninvited.

        So difficult to chose which is his ultimate performance, but Doc Holliday was phenomenal. His performance stood out well beyond the extremely impressive cast, yet he mastered how to make it still remain a supporting character. We’ve truly lost one of the best, today.

    This is devastating. There are so many choices to make when it comes to Val I refuse to single one out. Truly rest in peace.

      I thought he was a lot younger.

      But then again he was 33 when Real McCoy was released. I first watched it in maybe 95 with my parents and I was very young then.
