Bill Richardson, on the possibility of Val Kilmer replacing him as Governor of New Mexico: “I like the idea. If he jumps in the race, he’s got name ID. That can’t be discounted.”
After Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger, it could be argued that almost any actor could be elected to high office. Kilmer (along with the New Mexico Film Investment Program) even brought tens of millions of dollars to New Mexico’s annual production revenue. Still, has anyone pushing his name around in politics actually seen a Val Kilmer movie? Here are five clips that opponents could easily use against him.
- Batman Forever
Val Kilmer: Wrong for Batman, wrong for New Mexico.
- The Doors
Val Kilmer: Can New Mexico afford to ride the snake?
- The Island Of Dr. Moreau
Val Kilmer: What ever Brando had, he probably caught.
- Real Genius
Val Kilmer: He’s probably just looking to get laid.
- Top Gun
Val Kilmer: Gay in the military.
