Kevin Costner Movies And TV Shows

• Costner landed a role as a suicide victim in the 1983 ensemble drama The Big Chill, with Glenn Close, Kevin Kline, William Hurt, Jeff Goldblum, and others. But the film’s director, Lawrence Kasdan, remembered Costner and later signed him for the 1985 western Silverado. The film, which also starred Kline, Scott Glenn, and Danny Glover, proved to be a springboard to other opportunities in Hollywood.
• In 1987, Costner’s career really took off with two hit films. He starred with Sean Young in the popular thriller No Way Out and played the legendary crime fighter Eliot Ness in The Untouchables, with Sean Connery and Robert De Niro.
• Continuing his winning streak, Costner starred in the baseball romantic comedy Bull Durham (1988), with Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins.
• With 1989’s Field of Dreams, Costner again won over audiences with his everyman appeal. He played a farmer who creates a baseball diamond on his land on the instruction of a voice he hears. The fantastical yet heartfelt film did well both critically and commercially.
• Costner, now an established box office star, got the green light to work on his directorial debut, Dances with Wolves (1990). The movie was a labor of love with shooting stretching out over 18 months, five of which were spent on location in South Dakota.
• Costner continued to enjoy box office success with the adventure tale Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) and the romantic drama The Bodyguard (1992), with Whitney Houston. But Costner soon ran into a series of disappointments.
• Working as its star and producer, Costner faced a tremendous amount of challenges with the post-apocalyptic film Waterworld (1995). This futuristic tale of a nearly landless Earth had problems from the start. Filming largely took place on the open ocean on specially built platforms, one of which sank, but was recovered.
• Undaunted, Costner worked on another futuristic epic, The Postman (1997). He played the title character, a man who pretends to be a letter carrier in a post-apocalyptic America fractured by nuclear war. His charade brings hope to an isolated community. Some critics called The Postman the worst film of the year, while others noted that it was “a misfire” and “way too long, too pretentious and too self-indulgent.”
• After this film, Costner’s star power seemed to fade somewhat. He didn’t help his reputation by getting into a very public dispute with Universal over edits made to his next baseball film, For the Love of Game (1998). However, the actor showed that he still could give an impressive performance with Thirteen Days (2000), a true-life drama about the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
• Remaining busy into the new millennium, Costner starred in the heist film 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001) and in the 2005 romantic comedies The Upside of Anger and Rumor Has It.
• Following the 2008 election comedy Swing Vote, he appeared in the 2010 drama The Company Men, with Chris Cooper, Ben Affleck, and Tommy Lee Jones.
• In 2012, Costner tackled a juicy role on the small screen, starring in the History Channel miniseries Hatfields & McCoys as Devil Anse Hatfield, the leader of a famous feuding family.
• A busy 2014 had Costner appearing in Man of Steel as Superman’s adoptive Earth father — a role he reprised for 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as well as in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, 3 Days to Kill, Draft Day and Black or White.
• After starring as coach Jim White in the inspirational sports drama McFarland, USA (2015), he had prominent supporting roles in Hidden Figures (2016) and Molly’s Game (2017).
• Beginning in 2018, Costner found more success on the small screen with Yellowstone. The drama has the veteran actor starring John Dutton, owner of a sprawling ranch, with a cast that includes Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, and Wes Bentley as his children.
• In June 2019, around the time that season 2 premiered, it was announced that the series would return for a third season on Paramount Network.
• Costner starred in Netflix’s The Highwaymen (2019) as Frank Hamer, the former Texas Ranger who spearheaded the successful hunt of the infamous crime duo of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.
• He then went in a different direction after years of leading man roles, voicing the character of Enzo the dog in The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019).
