His first 2 roles.

Loved Real Genius (never gets shown anymore) but never saw Top Secret! I also completely forgot he was in The Ghost And The Darkness, another good movie.

Appears so. I read an article earlier saying he had a big rep for causing issues. Also didn't like the celebrity thing.

I loved this movie and he was a big reason.

I wore my Batman T-shirt today when I went shopping.
I mentioned Val to the people who complimented my selection.

method actors like him get that bad rep most often.. if they play a bastard they are going to be a bastard during that whole production.

But they keep getting hired.. gee.. I wonder why.. I think it is because they are good actors committed to their craft. And those that want it to be all loosey-goosey cannot handle it.

I knew every line of Top Secret at some point. RIP Val.
