Costner wasn’t De Palma’s first choice to play Eliot Ness, however.
Johnson was extremely famous at the time because of his ongoing role inMiami Viceas Sonny Crockett.
Art Linson, a producer ofThe Untouchables, already felt that Costner was right for the role.
AfterThe Untouchables, Costner was the hottest actor in Hollywood.
A year later, he starred in arguably his magnum opus,Dances with Wolves.
OnceThe Untouchablesproved just how magnetic and charming Kevin Costner was, his acting career simply took off.
