Actor Val Kilmer, best known for his roles in Top Gun, Batman Forever, Willow, Tombstone, and more, died Tuesday April 1 in Los Angeles. That’s according to The New York Times. The NYT reports that his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, says the cause was pneumonia. Kilmer had previously been diagnosed with throat cancer, but recovered in 2014. Kilmer’s last appearance on-screen was reprising his role as Admiral Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky in Top Gun: Maverick for a bittersweet scene opposite his character’s formal rival, Tom Cruise‘ Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. Kilmer’s death marks a career that has spanned decades.
