He was good in Silverado and Bull Durham, before he became a fathead. Did you see his dreadful "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" movie? People called it "Mudworld." The great thing about it was that it inspired Mel Brooks' parody, "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" John

(ibid) Kevin Costly's big hope is to make it mandatory equipment on all oil rigs. Crony kapitalism. --James Arthur
