Initially a stage actor, he later found fame as a leading man in films in a wide variety of genres including comedies, dramas, action adventures, westerns, historical films, crime dramas, science fiction films, and fantasy films. In 1992, film critic Roger Ebert remarked, "if there is an award for the most unsung leading man of his generation, Kilmer should get it." Born in Los Angeles, California, he was the second of three sons to Gladys Swanette and Eugene Dorris Kilmer. Val started his film career in the comedy films Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), before transitioning to dramatic films. He rose to prominence for playing Iceman in Top Gun (1986), Jim Morrison in The Doors (1991), Doc Holliday in Tombstone (1993), and Batman / Bruce Wayne in Batman Forever (1995).

He later acted in films such as The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996), The Ghost and the Darkness (1996), The Saint (1997), The Prince of Egypt (1998), The Salton Sea (2002), Spartan (2004), Alexander (2004), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005), Déjà Vu (2006), Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009), MacGruber (2010), Twixt (2011), The Snowman (2017), and Song to Song (2017). Kilmer made his final film appearance in Top Gun: Maverick (2022), reprising his role from the original film. Over the years, Val dated Cher, Lesley Ann Warren, Cindy Crawford, Angelina Jolie, Daryl Hannah and Ellen Barkin. He was married to actress Joanne Whalley from 1988 to 1996.

On stage, Val made his Broadway theatre debut acting in the John Byrne working class play The Slab Boys in 1983.

He portrayed Mark Twain in a one-man show he had written titled Citizen Twain in a 2012 production in Los Angeles. In 2015, Val was diagnosed with throat cancer. He was a lifelong Christian Scientist, but underwent chemotherapy despite it being conventionally against his religion. He subsequently underwent a tracheal procedure that damaged his vocal cords, leaving him with severe difficulty speaking. He also underwent chemotherapy and two tracheotomies, and died of pneumonia in 2025. He released his memoir in 2020, I'm Your Huckleberry: A Memoir, and the documentary Val (2021), both of which detail career and health struggles of the actor.
