Kevin Costner is a throwback, a thoroughly American leading man who would have fit in Hollywood's Golden Age as well as he does today. Rugged, handsome, and dependable, he has shined in the movies as an athlete, a hero, and a cowboy. He's the everyman that everyone can root for—which is likely why he continues to win new fans in projects like the streaming sensation Yellowstone. This is the story of one of our most enduring superstars and his most endearing performances.
