Kevin Costneris reflecting on the first time he starred in a Western film.
Costner, 69, shared three images and a short video clip of himself in the 1985 movieSilveradoonInstagramWednesday. The film marks Costner’s 10th onscreen credit, per hisIMDb page, and came just four years after he began acting in Hollywood movies.
“Silverado, 1985. A career-making movie for me I’ll never forget my joy at finally being in a Western movie,” the actor-filmmaker wrote in a caption to his post. One clip of him in the movie shows Costner spinning two pistols in his hands before pocketing them in his holsters.
Another image shows him standing with his costar Danny Glover. Costner also shared the movie’s poster, which shows him, Glover, now 77, as well as Kevin Kline and Scott Glenn, who also led the film’s cast. “It had been my life’s dream since being glued to my seat watchingHow the West Was Wonwhen I was seven years old,” Costner wrote in the caption to his post.
Costner has since grown closely associated with the Western genre for his work in movies likeDances with Wolves(1990),Open Range(2003) and most recently, his starring role in the television seriesYellowstone. He is returning to the genre as an actor, writer and director with his upcomingHorizon: An American Saga, a movie he is releasing in two parts in the coming months.
