Looking Back on the Big Chill, pt. 6






Part 6: What the hell happened to Alex...
That's what Kevin Costner (below) might have looked like as The Big Chill's suicide victim, Alex. Writer/Director Lawrence Kasdan shot scenes with Costner and the rest of the cast as college students and later decided they just didn't work. Costner's Alex ended up on the cutting room floor never to be seen...


As an apology, Kasdan wrote a flashy part for Costner as Jake in Silverado and the next thing you know we've got The Postman. Thanks, Larry.


As they say in France, Fin
