What is Kevin Costner's signature role?

Posted by amoxy (aka amoxy) May 10 '19, 10:28

I double checked we have not done him.

He has a lot of roles in iconic movies.

But I went with Crash Davis. Just the perfect balance of comedy, drama, sports. He is made for this role

Responses:

do Hanks on the next board, he should get a lot of different ones too given his career -- nm - Beaker May 10, 11:02
I thought for sure it would be a slam dunk for Crash Davis. But now I am rethinking maybe it is Roy in Tin Cup -- nm - amoxy May 10, 10:58
Waterworld. -- nm - mud May 10, 10:57
This is his most iconic scene, regardless of movie. -- (link) - MDH May 10, 10:47 [youtube] 11
- It's okay to admit that Madonna sucks, and it's a waste of time to give her any of your attention. - David May 10, 10:56
- are you gay or something? -- nm - groiny May 10, 10:54
- Wrong. Raise your hand if you remember that he was in ToD. - Shaun May 10, 10:48 2
  - I sure do, I was so disappointed in her at that moment (still kinda like her tho -- nm - mud May 10, 10:56
  - I mean you know I'm joking. But this is peak era Costner, and Madonna. And that goodbye kiss thing is hysterical. -- nm - MDH May 10, 10:49
- wait, that isn't him telling his son to let all his school friends die... -- nm - Beaker May 10, 10:48 4
  - serious answer: I love this scene from Open Range -- (link) - Beaker May 10, 10:50 [youtube] 3
    - That is a fine fine movie as a whole. (NM) - Marlowe May 10, 10:59 2
      - the only downside is - spoilers - Beaker May 10, 11:01
      - yep -- nm - mud May 10, 11:00
- That's not "Hey dad, wanna have a catch?" -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 10:47
his most underrated role is A Perfect World. Such a great movie. -- nm - Beaker May 10, 10:37 9
- For Love of the Game. Or Tin Cup if that's still underrated. -- nm - David May 10, 10:38 6
  - Actually, change my answer -- Tin Cup. It's perfect Costner. Flawed charming everyman. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 10:39 5
    - Over the years, it's become my favorite role of his. -- nm - David May 10, 10:42 3
      - His press conference at the US Open where he says, "Look at me. I'm the low percentage shot[to be here]," is just so very perfect for the actor. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 10, 10:50 1
        
        Completely agreed. -- nm - David May 10, 10:59
      - Relatedly given his sports stuff, I don't care that much about FLOTG -- but I think that was because it was so...predictable. - Will Hunting May 10, 10:46
    - yeah, it is Crash Davis and Roy McEvoy for me. -- nm - groiny May 10, 10:40
- or maybe Open Range one of my all-time favorite westerns...Jesus, he has a lot of great movies under his belt -- nm - Beaker May 10, 10:38 1
  - Seriously. Maybe not all great films, but identifiable stand out roles. Waterworld, Tin Cup, Bodyguard, Wolves and of course.... - Volnelk May 10, 10:41
Am I the only one who thought Untouchables? -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:35 3
- No, but I think his early work is tough to choose between. No Way Out is in there, too. - David May 10, 10:36
- He was good, but that was Sean Connery's movie -- nm - amoxy May 10, 10:36 1
  - True, but when I hear Elliot Ness, I picture Costner. - Volnelk May 10, 10:37
I think he's most identified with Crash Davis, but he's best remembered for Field of Dreams. - David May 10, 10:34
I would go with Bull Durham, Robin Hood or Field of Dreams. I can't pick. -- nm - sycor May 10, 10:33
Crash Davis slightly over Ray Kinsella. - Will Hunting May 10, 10:33 1
- This is my exact answer. The natural sex appeal of Crash Davis is what ups it to a better defining Costner role. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 10, 10:45
Dances with Wolves (love the opening scene) -- (link) - Beaker May 10, 10:32 [youtube]
I went Field of Dreams -> Bodyguard -> Dances -- nm - MDH May 10, 10:31
Field of Dreams -- nm - SyrDragonite May 10, 10:31 1
- this -- nm - Snorjax May 10, 10:35
I'm with your IM: Crash Davis -- nm - JD May 10, 10:31
Dances or Robin Hood. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 10:29 2
- Same here. Maybe The Untouchables in the same group. (NM) - Marlowe May 10, 10:56
- Those are definitely the ones that come to mind first -- nm - SyrDragonite May 10, 10:30
