Kevin Costner gets choked up revealing emotional exchange with Gene Hackman in resurfaced interview


The late Gene Hackman 's incomparable talent and larger than life persona were well articulated by his No Way Out costar Kevin Costner in a 2017 interview.

The clip, taken from the January 5, 2017 edition of The Rich Eisen Show, was circulating amid the shocking news that the double Oscar winner, 95, his wife Betsy Arakawa, 63, and their dog were found dead in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home Wednesday. Costner played the role of Tom Farrell opposite Hackman's character David Brice in the political thriller from filmmaker Roger Donaldson, which opened in theaters August 14, 1987. 'A coverup and witchhunt occur after a politician accidentally kills his mistress,' read a logline from the film, which also featured Sean Young, Iman, Will Patton, George Dzundza and the late Howard Duff.
