one of my favorite things about stanning an actor is feeling flabbergasted while comparing their roles. like… I’m supposed to believe that tom “iceman” kazansky and jim morrison are played by the same guy? nick rivers and “gay perry” van shrike? chris knight and doc holliday? val kilmer, you mind-boggling genius, you
iirc val took this off his facebook page or something but heres a video of tom cruise val kilmer and tony edwards being schwasted at the top gun wrap party
