He was the youngest student to ever be admitted to Juilliard, and had his breakout role as Iceman in Top Gun, alongside Tom Cruise. His most recognized film roles include playing Jim Morrison in The Doors, Batman in Batman Forever, and Doc Holliday in Tombstone. He starred in the Broadway play “Slab Boys,” and personified Mark Twain in an immersive theater project called “Citizen Twain.” He continued with acting roles in film and television until 2015, when reports surfaced that he was battling cancer.
