Christian Bale may be the Batman of the moment, but did the star of "The Dark Knight" ever tell Tom Cruise he could be his wingman anytime? Did he do a dead-on Marlon Brando impression in a movie in which the legendary thespian actually starred? No. Those distinctions apply to Val Kilmer, who, as the youngest actor ever accepted to Juilliard back in the day, was an acting prodigy if there ever was one.
The hits have been harder to come by in recent years (his winning role in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" didn't get the attention it deserved), but Kilmer soldiers on. His latest film, "Felon," in which he stars as a prison legend alongside Stephen Dorff, opens in limited release this week.
Kilmer recently stopped by MTV for a lively trip down memory lane (did you know the set of "Willow" was a hotbed of sexual activity among little people?), some rumor control (he addressed reports that he's going to play Van Halen's David Lee Roth in a film) and talk of a new friend he's found in 50 Cent.
