The Costner Club
The Costner Club was founded by the ever-humble Kevin Costner. Mr. Costner's ability to tell a story through film, while always keeping the camera focused on his face is without equal. Sacrificing conventional cinematography, Costner is able to weave these celluloid masterpieces.... again with only his face. If there are other actors or actresses in his films, you will never know.....but why would you need them? You have Kevin Costner's face. Abstract sets or exotic locations? Perhaps they are there....anything is possible behind Costner's face.
The keystone of the Costner Club is unselfishness and generosity. Every Costner film exceeds the 2 hour mark, and most (JFK, Water World, The Postman) shatter the 3 hour barrier. So we are left with hours and hours of Kevin Costner's face. Generous, liberal, heaping piles of Costner's face.
Other members of the Costner Club, include Tom Cruise, and Mel Gibson. Much like Kevin Costner, these too actors never stop giving.....their faces. When an actor's ego is too big for a film....it belongs in the Costner Club.

If the bitterest pill is watching the unruly getting one over the richeous then this pill you've delivered here is pure sugar.
Think about it. You know it makes sense.
Another such character worthy of mention in this hall of face-focus is Steven Seagal. The difference is that at one time, Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner et al were considered very attractive to the opposite sex, thus perhaps justifying the camera orbiting their face like a sycophantic moon. But Seagal? No thankyou. The Discovery Channel has plenty of footage of garden slugs already...
