Early Life

Costner loved sports and playing different instruments such as the piano while growing up. He didn’t fit in well with academics and also had a hard time in terms of confidence since as his father’s career progressed, he would be moving to different schools making it difficult for him to make new friends.

Costner put more of his attention on creative activities such as writing poetry and was also a singer of the First Baptist Choir. Costner graduated from Villa Park High School in 1973 and later joined the California State University where he earned a BA that was focused on marketing and finance.

It was in his last year of college that Costner developed an interest in acting. Among one of the key moments that Costner looks back as being important in helping him to pursue acting was when he met the actor Richard Burton during a flight.

Costner spoke to Burton and in their conversation when Costner asked if Burton could tolerate if he had become an actor. Burton replied by mentioning that he has blue eyes and so does Costner so Burton said that Costner would be fine in acting. Burton wished him good luck for his acting career and Costner started to focus fully on acting after this.

He started to take acting lessons at night by supporting himself and his family in the day by working different jobs on fishing boats and as a truck driver. Costner had a strong will and that led to his first film debut for Sizzle Beach that was released in 1981.

Over the years, Costner was able to be part of several minor roles. Yet the big turning point in his career came when Costner got the role of a federal agent in the film called The Untouchables which was a big success.

This success led to even more success as he went on to star in the film No Way Out which was followed by a performance for Bull Durham and Field of Dreams. The latter two were focused on baseball and were very popular with the fans.

Over the years, Costner was able to be a part of several blockbuster films such as The Bodyguard, JFK, A Perfect World, and Wyatt Earp. Costner is still active as an actor and in 2018 became part of the television series called Yellowstone which was his first regular TV series role.
