description: "He built a thirty-year run on quiet authority — the steady hand in a courtroom thriller, the aging pitcher with one last game, the rancher holding a valley together. Costner's gravity made him the anchor Hollywood reached for when the script needed someone you'd actually believe."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Kevin Michael Costner was born January 18, 1955, and broke through in the late eighties with The Untouchables and Bull Durham, then cemented himself with Field of Dreams in 1989. In 1990 he directed and starred in Dances With Wolves, a western epic that won him two Academy Awards: Best Picture and Best Director. The nineties kept him in the center frame — Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, The Bodyguard, JFK — though his bigger swings as director, Waterworld and The Postman, met rougher weather. He kept working steadily across two decades in everything from political dramas like Thirteen Days to supporting turns in Hidden Figures and Man of Steel. In 2012 he won an Emmy playing Devil Anse Hatfield, then from 2018 to 2024 he anchored Yellowstone as ranch patriarch John Dutton, a role that earned him a Golden Globe and introduced him to a new generation. In 2024 he returned to directing with Horizon: An American Saga, still chasing the wide-open western he never quite left behind.
