Why does he only do B-movies?
This guy was a star. Just think Top Gun, Willow, The Doors, Tombstone, and Heat.
Why does he only do B-movies nowadays, and even small roles in them, at that?

Kilmer was a massive douchebag. Completely bullied and undermined his director at every turn. He ruined his own career.
Exactly!

In a weird way, Val Kilmerās āfall from graceā reminds me of Steven Seagalās. Both the biggest movies in Val Kilmer and Steven Seagalās careers (Batman Foreverā and Under Siege respectively) oddly enough, featured Tommy Lee Jones as an antagonist. Both Val and Steven you can argue, developed reputations for being prima-donnas at the height of their fame/success. Both Val wound up co-starring w/ popular hip-hop artists (e.g. LL Cool J and 50 Cent for Val and DMX and Ja Rule for Steven). Both Val and Steven became incredibly out of shape and in the process, relegated to making a bunch of direct-to-DVD movies.
shareKilmer and Seagal should do a film together.
shareBecause he had a string of movies that didn't do well, and he was no longer perceived as a box office draw.
Probably didn't help that he has a reputation for treating people badly and being difficult. He probably burned a lot of bridges, and is no longer considered to be worth the trouble.
You know you're doing something wrong....when Marlon Brando complains that YOU'RE difficult on-set?
