Costner a good actor? He sucked in ‘Dances with Wolves’. I guess if someone is given the chance to do something often enough they will eventually get better at it. How he got his first role I’ll never understand. Is he a trust fund baby?

His first role didn’t involve much acting. He was the dead guy in the Big Chill.

Don’t get me started with “Dances With Wolves”. One of the most idiotic movies I have ever seen. One of the few I could not sit through.

As long as the character he plays is perplexed and concerned Costner is great. Like in Open Range when his character had no idea what was going on but knew it would bother him. He’s got that one expression for his face. And his face got stuck like that before Botox.

Costner may not be your cup of tea, but “Bull Durham” is the single best baseball movie ever.

All of his baseball movies were exceptional.

He was pretty ruthless in 3000 miles to Graceland opposite of Kurt Russell.

I believe Paxton got his first role in Terminator. He played one the punks that confront AH-nold in the first scene of the movie.

I never saw “Wolves” but he was great with Duvall in Open Range.
