When I was a youngin, Val Kilmer had a surprise autograph signing at San Diego Comic-Con. It was previously unannounced. I rushed to the main hall and bought a comic, and still made it back upstairs to be first in line. When he arrived, his agent or whoever made a big announcement, it will be autographs only, no personalizations so don't ask! So the signing starts and up walks me, a kid. Val yells, "HEY, REMEMBER NO PERSONALIZATIONS!", then says to me "What's your name?" and personalizes my autograph. A memory and autograph I will always cherish. RIP to an amazing actor and artist.

Awesome story.

One of my favorite movie scenes of all-time:

RIP to a true icon.

Only Jim Morrison himself could do a better Val Kilmer impersonation. Legendary performance in that film.
