R.I.P. Val Kilmer

Don't really want to be that guy or speak "ill" of the dead

But reading articles and comments about Val Kilmer I'm reading things like Acting Icon, Legendary Actor, National Treasure

No offense meant but really?

He was a good actor who made good movies that I enjoyed and in my opinion had one legendary role (Doc Holliday)

But acting icon?

I said in the Gene Hackman thread that those terms were also assigned to him even though I had never heard him referred as such before

But Gene Hackman has exponentially more claim to those descriptions than Val Kilmer

If famous actors with multiple iconic roles aren't acting icons, who is?
