Whatever Happened To The Field Of Dreams Cast?

Costner brought a quiet dignity and intense passion to the role of Ray, a man who defies everyone's expectations while pursuing both his literal and figurative dreams.

"Field of Dreams" was not Costner's first baseball-related film, having starred in "Bull Durham" (as a catcher) the prior year, and it would not be his last as he starred in the Sam Raimi flick "For Love of the Game" (as a pitcher) in 1999. One of the biggest stars in the world in the late '80s/early '90s, Costner not only headlined blockbusters like Brian De Palma's "The Untouchables" and the Whitney Houston phenomenon "The Bodyguard," but built his career through a unique mixture of beloved baseball and Western films.

In 1990, he produced, directed, and starred in "Dances with Wolves," which earned Costner a Best Actor nomination and a Best Director win at the Oscars. Over the years, he amassed a few failures like "Waterworld" and "The Postman," but had plenty of hits to balance things out, including "Open Range," and "Tin Cup."

As the years went by and Costner's age began to climb, he settled into a nice career as a character actor ("Hidden Figures," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," "The Company Men") who would occasionally take on some heavier lifting ("Mr. Brooks," "Draft Day," "Swing Vote").

Costner came roaring back in 2018 with his first significant television role, playing John Dutton in the hit series "Yellowstone." As if that series didn't give him enough Western cred, he continues to tour with his country rock band Kevin Costner & Modern West. As part of an ongoing partnership with MLB celebrating the flick, Costner returned to the "Field of Dreams" cornfield in August 2021, leading the Yankees and White Sox (dressed like Joe Jackson's 1919 team) onto the field for a thrilling game won by a dramatic walk-off homer ... the sort of thing that could only happen in the movies.
