There are very few actors in Hollywood that know the ups and downs of working in the film industry like Val Kilmer. Kilmer built his career with an impressive resume 1980s and early 1990s. One of his biggest roles was playing Batman in the 1995 hit movie Batman Forever. However, Kilmer failed to capitalize on his success. The role was later recast with George Clooney playing Batman in the next Batman movie. Moreover, he has since struggled to find other strong rules ever since.

Kilmer is now promoting his one-man show about Mark Twain. During a recent ask me anything on Reddit, Kilmer shared advice about breaking into the film industry. In the process, Kilmer shared a tip you would only get from someone that has seen not only the bright side of fame with the dark horrors of it as well.

“Work till you cry yourself to sleep every night for months on end. Work so hard you pass out and wake up crying. Become a world class athlete. Read Shakespeare every day to learn about human nature. EVERY DAY. FOR DECADES. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever take a day off. And never complain. It’s the best job on earth and worth it when you break through. They say Dustin Hoffman couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag, and I knew Kevin Spacey since he was like 15 and he was sooooooooooo bad it used to hurt my eyes. But boy did he work hard and deserves all his awards.”

Kilmer also shared an amazing tip about getting typecast. “I have never been typecast. Made sure of that.”  Essentially, it is up to the accident to make sure that he or she is never typecast.
