Actors Who Never Recovered From Their Most Distressing Roles

 

Kilmer asked the cast and crew to exclusively refer to him as Jim; many members claimed that it was nearly impossible to tell the difference between Kilmer's and Morrison's singing voices. Kilmer was so invested in the role that once production came to an end, he had to go to therapy just to disconnect himself from the character. Paul Rothchild, a rock producer who knew Morrison personally, said that Kilmer "knows Jim Morrison better than Jim ever knew himself."
