M OT I O N P I CTU R E S O U N D E D I TO R S 9 Best Ensemble; the true-crime drama The Highwaymen opposite Woody Harrelson for Netflix; and the thriller Let Him Go, co- starring Diane Lane and directed by Tom Bezucha. In addition, he starred in, and executive produced the Paramount Network's hit drama Yellowstone, a role for which he received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Drama. Currently, Costner is directing, producing, and starring in Horizon: An American Saga, a multi-faceted, years- long span of post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West. Experienced through the eyes of many, the epic journey is fraught with peril and intrigue from the constant onslaught of natural elements to the interactions with the Native American people who lived on the land and the determination and at many times, ruthlessness of those who sought to settle it. When Costner is not working on films, he sings lead vocals and plays lead guitar in his band Modern West, and can be seen playing venues across the country. The band recently recorded a collection of songs from and inspired by Yellowstone entitled Tales From Yellowstone, the follow-up to their Hatfields & McCoys- inspired album Famous for Killing Each Other. The band's song "The Angels Came Down" from their album Turn It On, was adopted by the Gold Star Mothers and Gold Star Wives organizations, which support the mothers, wives, and families of fallen soldiers.
