Which actor played Jim Morrison in the 1991 film 'The Doors'?

Val Kilmer played Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's 1991 biographical film The Doors. The movie dramatizes the band's rise, Morrison's public image, and the counterculture surrounding the group during the 1960s.

Kilmer prepared extensively for the role. He learned dozens of Doors songs, studied Morrison's movements and stage presence, and performed his own vocals during many concert scenes. He also worked with producer Paul A. Rothchild and met Doors members Robby Krieger and John Densmore while preparing. Kilmer's performance was widely praised, even by members of the band who criticized the film's historical liberties.

The supporting cast included Meg Ryan as Pamela Courson, Kyle MacLachlan as Ray Manzarek, Frank Whaley as Robby Krieger, and Kevin Dillon as John Densmore. The film was released on March 1, 1991, and helped introduce The Doors to a new generation, although the surviving members argued that it exaggerated Morrison's drinking and darker behavior.
