Val Kilmer Makes a Rare Public Appearance to Support Longtime Pal Al Pacino

Val Kilmer joins his friend Al Pacino on the red carpet at the Simply Shakespeare Live Read of The Merchant of Venice on Monday night (October 28) at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

The event reunited Pacino with Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater, who starred alongside him in a Broadway run of the play several years ago. Also participating in the live read was Geoffrey Rush.

Kilmer just announced that he will be releasing a memoir next spring titled “I’m Your Huckleberry,” which will address his battle with throat cancer. He publicly revealed he was battling the disease back in 2017 after going through treatment for two years.

Al and Val starred in the 1995 movie Heat.
