Before he was a household name, Kevin Costner got his big acting break in 1987, but only after Don Johnson turned down the same role. Looking back, it's hard to a time when Kevin Costner wasn't one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Costner's best films include some of the best Western movies ever made, some great dramas, and more than a few iconic sports movies. He's been a superstar for decades now, and like every other superstar, he owes it all to a single breakthrough role.

The box-office failure of John Wayne's The Alamo draws some interesting parallels to Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1. John Wayne fronted over 80 Westerns during his 50 year acting career and was happily typecast as a cowboy. He fronted plenty of classics like The Searchers, but he was refreshingly honest about his duds too, such as Wayne labeling Cahill U.S. Marshal as one of his worst. Wayne directed several movies too, with the 1960s The Alamo being the most ambiguous by far.
