I am ashamed to admit that it took me until after Val Kilmer's passing to finally watch 1993’s Tombstone. I had long been meaning to watch director George Cosmatos’ classic Western movie inspired by the infamous O.

When Alabama actor Michael Biehn appeared in 1993’s “Tombstone” alongside Val Kilmer, who died Tuesday at age 65, the two actors portrayed enemies. But watching Kilmer act left Biehn with great respect for Kilmer, who starred in iconic films like “Top Gun,” “The Doors” and “Batman Forever.”

A unique talent, Val Kilmer was praised as an acting chameleon who took on varied and challenging roles, and the results were often memorable.
