Yellowstone has reminded everyone how great he can be, but here are some of screen legend Kevin Costner's other major projects. Costner started as a jobbing actor in the early 1980s, playing bit roles in Night Shift and The Big Chill, though he was famously cut out of the latter project. His career prospects shot up in the late 1980s, starting with ensemble western Silverado, where he managed to steal scenes from the likes of Danny Glover and Kevin Kline.
It was Brian DePalma's Field Of Dreams. In 1990 he starred in Tony Scott's bleak thriller Revenge, about a man who falls in love with a crimelord's wife, and while it wasn't a success at the time it's since been reappraised as one of Scott's best movies.
Kevin Costner took a huge risk with 1990's The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston.
His career took something of a turn around the time of 1994's Wyatt Earp, a dull biopic of the legendary lawman that was beaten to cinemas by the far superior Waterworld, a Mad Max-style adventure where the planet has become flooded and Costner's Mariner has to fight off Dennis Hopper's band of raiders. The production was a notorious mess due to unpleasant filming conditions, and critics sharped their knives waiting for it. Waterworld is now considered an underrated gem but while it made money, its reputation was toxic for many years.
Kevin Costner never quite recaptured the box-office glory of previous years, and his somewhat dreary post-apocalyptic fable The Postman from 1997 didn't help. While he still made solid movies during this period like Thirteen Days, he made some true duds like the Tarantino-aping 3000 Miles To Graceland - which united him with Kurt Russell - and supernatural drama Dragonfly. He directed another solid western with 2003's Open Range and gave a great, rare villain turn in serial killer movie Mr. Brooks.
Kevin Costner has reinvented himself as a great ing actor, playing mentor roles in 2013's The Highwaymen and plays the lead role in acclaimed TV series Yellowstone. He plays John Dutton, the head of a family who have to defend their huge ranch from developers and others seeking to take land for themselves.
