In my passion to understand the value of Kevin Costner and how I have ignored and even mocked his worth as an actor, I have decided that I must explore his relationship with Mel Gibson.
I see their careers as having many similarities. First of all they are very close in age and they have both had movie careers which have turned into Director/Producer/Actor winning them both oscars. They seemed to have both emulated Clint Eastwood, who began as an actor and transformed into a Director/Producer/Actor and an Acadamy Award machine. But Eastwood's path seems to be the most unscathed. He seems to have avoided all contraversy and minimal failure. I almost see Clint Eastwood as their guru. The man they both want to be, but there have been some bumps in the road for both of them trying to attain the success and consistency that Eastwood has attained.
