What was the first movie Kevin Costner played in?
Film debut in 1974 in the ultra-cheapie ‘Sizzle Beach USA.’ While a marketing student at California State University in Fullerton, American actor Kevin Costner became involved with community theatre.

When Costner seriously decided to take up acting, he went the usual theatre-workshop, multiple-audition route. Casting directors saw potential, but weren’t quite sure how to use Costner; besides, the novice actor had a bad habit of speaking up if something bothered him on the set. That may be why his big studio debut in Night Shift (1982) consisted of little more than background decoration and the subsequent Frances (1982) featured Costner as an offstage voice.
