Costner, Kevin

In the marvelous 2003 film 'Open Range', Costner plays Charley Waite, a gunslinger from the old west. Who plays his partner Boss Spearman in the film?

Film History of Kevin Costner


Robert Duvall. This is really a terrific western, one of Costner's best films, and actually one of his best acting performances as well! Duvall should have been nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his performance, and I also believe Annette Bening, who plays Costner's love interest Sue Barlow, should have gotten a supporting actress nod. Regardless...let's hope Costner keeps churning out the excellent work. Thanks for playing this quiz, I hope you enjoyed it and will try some of my other stuff.

Neither of these. In the Oliver Stone film 'JFK', as already mentioned, Costner plays a lawyer named Garrison. In 'Thirteen Days', Costner plays an advisor to President Kennedy named Kenny O'Donnell.



It was probably during the year 1987 that Costner officially established himself as a leading man in Hollywood. His films that year included 'No Way Out' and 'The Untouchables'. What was his character name in 'The Untouchables'?

Eliot Ness . In 1987's 'The Untouchables', Costner takes on the Chicago mobs, led by Al Capone (played memorably by Robert De Niro). Costner gets added help from Sean Connery, who plays his assistant Jim Malone, and Andy Garcia, who portrays Agent George Stone (aka Giuseppe Petri). This was really one of Costner's best pieces of work, I thought.
