Washington DC, April 2 -- Actor Val Kilmer, who is known for his roles in Top Gun, Willow, and The Door, passed away at the age of 65, reported Deadline.

Kilmer's daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed to the New York Times, as quoted by Deadline, that the actor passed away after battling pneumonia.

Kilmer's early films included comedies like Top Secret! and Real Genius, as well as a breakout role as LT Tom "Iceman" Kazansky opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun.

The actor's leather-clad portrayal of Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's The Doors is still considered one of the best roles of an actor.

After his outing as The Lizard King, Kilmer opted for scene-stealing co-starring roles in Tombstone (1993), True Romance (1993) and Heat (1995).
