The Life of All-American Actor Kevin Costner

In 2018, he began starring as John Dutton on Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, playing the powerful patriarch of a Montana ranching family. The role brought together several familiar Costner themes: land, family, inheritance, loyalty, violence, and the struggle to hold onto a changing way of life.

The series became one of the biggest television successes of his career and introduced him to a massive new audience. After decades of Westerns and American frontier stories, Costner had found a modern version of the world that had defined him.
