Actor Val Kilmer, who starred as Batman and Doors frontman Jim Morrisson during his Hollywood career, has died at the age of 65.
Kilmer died of pneumonia on Tuesday in Los Angeles, his daughter Mercedes said, according to the BBC.

Kilmer’s films took in about $2 billion at the box office, according to CNN.
