Kevin Costner has defied the odds throughout his 40-year career in Hollywood. Despite setbacks like being cut from a major film, he persevered and became a star with movies like Bull Durham and Field of Dreams. More recently, his TV series Yellowstone became a massive hit after initially flying under the radar. Costner's confidence in himself has led him to take risks, including investing his own money in projects like Dances with Wolves, which paid off spectacularly. However, other ventures like Waterworld and The Postman did not fare as well financially. Costner's latest project, the multi-part film series Horizon, is another ambitious undertaking that he has poured millions of his own money into. Amidst uncertainty about its success, Costner remains determined to pursue his creative passions, showing that his love for storytelling and taking risks continues to drive him forward in his career.
