17. Val Kilmer - The Doors
Trending
In the 1980s, Val Kilmer was the man in Top Gun and Willow, but he hadn't yet shown off his Juilliard training. All that changed when he landed the role of Jim Morrison in The Doors (1991). So eager to please director Oliver Stone, Kilmer even spent thousands making a music video as Morrison. Once cast, he went the whole hog—reading Morrison's work, interviewing the Doors' producer Paul Rothchild, and frequenting Morrison's old haunts. Kilmer's dedication was so intense that even the band struggled to distinguish his voice from Morrison's in recordings.
