Hollywood star Kevin Costner has been hitting the headlines this year due to his highly publicised divorce from his wife Christine Baumgartner.<\/p>\n
However, the Oscar-winning actor and director is probably better known for his extensive career dating back to the 1980s.<\/p>\n
Along with his Academy Awards, Costner has also bagged a trio of Golden Globes and an Emmy.<\/p>\n
One of Costner\u2019s biggest roles to date was in The Bodyguard, which saw him playing a security detail and former intelligence officer Frank Farmer who falls in love with the pop star Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston), whom he\u2019d been charged to keep safe.<\/p>\n
The 1992 movie spawned a wildly successful musical which is now embarking on its UK tour.<\/p>\n
To mark The Bodyguard Musical starting, here\u2019s a look at some of Costner\u2019s most successful projects to date.<\/p>\n
