This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 5 times. The weeks in which this happened:

Opinion piece, not encyclopedic entry[edit]

This article begins with a listing of movies he has acted in, but then very abruptly after the "stats box" morphs into a highly obvious opinion piece. It needs editing. Mother Newton (talk) 23:47, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Smoking[edit]

Since he developed throat cancer, shouldn't we mention the fact that Kilmer (as he has stated in interviews) began smoking cigarettes at the age of 8? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 03:07, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unlinked archived discussions.[edit]

Is there any way to link these older discussions into the archived Talk materials, as they do not appear there now? It is difficult to find them without their being formally placed into the Archives. Was this an error or is there something that needs to be hidden away? I don't see anything like that in those entries, myself.
