Kevin Costner Remembers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s 'Enthusiasm' as Extras on Field of Dreams

Kevin Costner recalled meeting “college guys” Ben Affleck and Matt Damon while filming a scene in Fenway Park
Kevin Costner is reminiscing about a young Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
During his May 21 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Costner, 69, said he “absolutely” remembers filming a scene from 1989’s Field of Dreams that included the duo as extras in Boston’s Fenway Park.
“I did remember it,” the actor-director told Kimmel. “They were sitting in the stands, like college guys. And they would both lean in at the same time, lean back at the same time, look at each other at the same time.”
As the leading actor in the Phil Alden Robinson-directed baseball movie, Costner mingled with the stadium’s many background actors. “We talked and they had this big enthusiasm,” he recalled. “They were on fire.”
