Actor Val Kilmer began his pursuit of a career in acting by attending some very prestigious acting schools, such as the Hollywood Professional School and Juilliard. His early career included lots of theatre work, along with some appearances in commercials, and an after school special. When Kilmer set his sights on film work, he scored the lead role in his first two movies. Ironically, he got more attention for the supporting roles that followed, such as his part in the 1986 film "Top Gun."

He returned to leading roles in the 90's, portraying Jim Morrison in "The Doors" (1991) and the legendary caped crusader in "Batman Forever" (1995). He got a reputation as being difficult to work with (especially after the Batman gig), but many view Kilmer's technique of immersing himself in the role as the key to his ability to play many diverse types of characters. Back in 1985, Val Kilmer played the brilliant-yet-quirky leader of a group college students who divide their time between conducting cutting edge research and performing devious pranks. What was the name of the film?

Bonus Question: The film makers invented a fictional school to provide the setting for the afore mentioned movie, but it was based on an actual school. In fact, many of the pranks in the film were based on the exploits of the students at this actual school, and an alumnus of that school was on the set acting as a consultant during filming. What's the name of the real school that provided the inspiration for the fictional school in our mystery film?
