One of Hollywood's biggest stars will be stopping through East Texas for a very special event. You've seen in him in lots of movies and TV shows, most recently as the star of the hit series "Yellowstone" and now you can spend an evening learning more about him.

An Evening with Kevin Costner will be on Saturday, April 2

In celebration of the UT Tyler Cowan Center's 25th Anniversary, the famed actor will be a part of a special moderated talk where he shares stories from his popular movies. In a statement to KETK, Cowan Center Executive Director Susan Thomae-Morphew called the "a rare opportunity to see one of the most well-known A-list celebrities of our time."

What's Your Favorite Kevin Costner Movie Or Show?

Though he's been in literally hundreds of movies and shows, there's more than enough to choose a favorite from. He did a great job in "The Bodyguard" opposite the late great Whitney Houston. One of my personal favorites as a kid was his role in "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves", not only because its a great story, but for the fact that he maintained his "American" accent in a "period piece" set in England.
