Forte remembers his friend and former roommate, who died April 1, in a new tribute. Will Forte was especially close to Val Kilmer, who died April 1. The two costarred in MacGruber, the 2010 adaptation of his Saturday Night Live character of the same name,

The experience of filming MacGruber alone could probably fill multiple books, but Forte also had the unique experience of not only befriending Kilmer but letting Kilmer crash at his house for almost three months. As such, he’s got a lot of incredible anecdotes about their time together, like this gem:

Tom Cruise led CinemaCon 2025 attendees in a moment of silence to honor the late Val Kilmer, who died at 65 on Tuesday, April 1, to begin his presentation at the film industry convention on Thursday,

The late Val Kilmer always added idiosyncrasies to his lead turns, but he was even more effective in roles like Doc Holliday.

"I think we would've gotten out very quickly, but it just would've been the experience of a lifetime," the actor and comedian shares.

Rossovich, aka Cruise's on-screen partner Slider, is apparently the person who wants "more". Wearing shades but no shirt, he proceeds to pretend to throw a chair at Kilmer's head, before jumping out of the trailer into the sunshine and dancing off.

Michael Mann, Francis Ford Coppola, Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey and Josh Brolin were among the many entertainment industry figures who paid tribute to Val Kilmer after news of his death was announced.

Francis Ford Coppola, who directed Kilmer in 2011 film “Twixt,” wrote, “Val Kilmer was the most talented actor when in his High School, and that talent only grew greater throughout his life. He was a wonderful person to work with and a joy to know — I will always remember him.”
