Voila a mon sens un acteur mésestimé qui connaît depuis quelques temps l'enfer des DTV.Et pourtant quel geule,quel charisme,quel prestance,quel maturité,il rayonne.Le comédien enchaine les DTV alors qu'il est d'une trempe phénoménale.Comme le bon vin il se bonifie avec le temps .Désarmant de naturel,l'acteur n'en a que faire de se faire oublier d'Hollywood,tant il enchaine prestation sur prestation.Est-ce son caractère bien trempé,ingérable d'aprés certains ,des choix de carrière douteux ou son succés éphèmere qui le pousse aujourd'hui a jouer dans des productions miteuses?At-il pris la grosse tête trop vite?
Difficile a croire actuellement tant il fait preuve d'une intelligence et d'un recul rare sur son métier:
"Les grosses productions, c'est génial, vous pouvez voler à bord d'un jet privé, vous faire beaucoup d'argent, bref toutes ces choses liées à Hollywood. Le seul problème, c'est qu'elles bouffent votre la vie"A croire que les plus beaux moments de la carrière de Val sont désormais dérrière lui et son talent ne sera jamais reconnu à sa juste valeur a l'instar d'un Micheal Keaton ou d'un Christian Slater
Val Kilmer,une seconde chance,on y croit encore.
