Kevin Costner Biography

The young Costner wrote poetry sang in a Baptist choir excelled at baseball and built his own canoe. Attending California State University at Fullerton in 1973 Costner married and drifted but after a meeting with Richard Burton on a plane flight he decided to pursue an acting career.
Taking his wife to LA he worked as a truck-driver and tour-guide seeking acting work. Having appeared in 'Malibu Hot Summer' in 1974 and seeking better work he took bit-parts before turning down the lead in 'War Games' for a role in Lawrence Kasdan’s 'The Big Chill'.
When his part was cut Kasdan cast him again in the Western 'Silverado' and Costner became a star. In 'The Untouchables' 'No Way Out' and the baseball films 'Bull Durham' and 'Ray Kinsella' and 'Field of Dreams' Costner carved out his niche as an upstanding hero.
Convinced by his own moral force he directed and starred in 'Dances With Wolves' in 1991 which was hugely successful commercially and garnered critical acclaim. He picked up two Academy Awards for best picture and best director and secured a host of other accolades and nominations including a Golden Globe and a Bafta.
