Roy's Favourite Actors Part 2: Kevin Costner


    
Kevin Costner is an  actor, director, producer, and musician. His accolades include two Academy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, one Primetime Emmy Award, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

He's not my favorite actor by a long shot and i don't even really think he's a particularly gifted actor but what i do know is that he has been in some great films. He hit a winning streak in the Mid-Eighties until the late nineties with a string of box office smashers. Then there was 'Waterworld'. The most expensive flop in history after it hit cinemas. 'Field of Dreams' is a wonderful film that is easy to watch and filled with touching sentiment. A feel good movie for a Sunday afternoon. Then there's 'Revenge'.  An old villians young wife becomes the tale of Revenge after a line is crossed. Lastly there's Dances with Wolves. The Oscar hit where an old US soldier records a diary whilst in relative solitude in North America. He befriends a timid wolf which happens gradually throughout the film. Of course he falls in love with a Native woman and eventually becomes converted.
