Trivia

• Costner was cast in the hit The Big Chill. He filmed several scenes which were planned as flashbacks, but they never made it to the final cut. He was the friend who committed suicide, the event around which the plot of the movie revolves. All that is seen of him are his slashed wrists as the mortician dresses his corpse in the movie's opening scenes. Costner was friends with director Lawrence Kasdan, who later promised the actor a role in a future project, which was Silverado, a breakout for Costner.
