Other artists came to his defense, like D. J. Caruso, who directed Kilmer in “The Salton Sea” and said the actor simply liked to talk out scenes and enjoyed having a director’s attention.“Val needs to immerse himself in a character. I think what happened with directors like Frankenheimer and Schumacher is that Val would ask a lot of questions, and a guy like Schumacher would say, ‘You’re Batman! Just go do it,’” Caruso told the Times in 2002.After “The Island of Dr. Moreau,” the movies were smaller, like David Mamet’s human-trafficking thriller “Spartan”; “Joe the King,” in which he played a paunchy, abusive alcoholic; and 2003’s “Wonderland,” in which he played the doomed ’70s porn star John Holmes. He also threw himself into his one-man stage show “Citizen Twain,” in which he played Mark Twain.

“I enjoy the depth and soul the piece has that Twain had for his fellow man and America,” he told Variety in 2018. “And the comedy that’s always so close to the surface, and how valuable his genius is for us today.”Actor Val Kilmer poses for a picture in New York, Sept. 29, 2003.
