My Favourite Actor. 

Kevin Costner, a famous American actor, was born in Los Angeles. He spent his childhood often on the move, changing schools frequently, owing to his father's job at the regional electricity company. As a teenager, he developed a keen liking for football, baseball and basket-ball and was also interested in singing and writing poetry. 
I like this actor because the characters he plays are strong personalities, wise people who are worthy of my admiration. In my opinion, this is the reason of his growing popularity in many, countries. He is not only a talented actor, whose acting draws your attention the very moment you see his face on the screen. But he is also a successful producer and continues working at his new films which are certain to amuse the people.

Мой любимый актер (Кевин Костнер).

Кевин Костнер, известный американский актер, родился в Лос-Анджелесе. Он провел свое детство в постоянных переездах, часто меняя школы из-за работы отца в региональной компании по электричеству. Будучи подростком, он развил в себе любовь к футболу, бейсболу и баскетболу, а также был заинтересован в пении и написании стихов. 
Мне нравится этот актер, потому что он играет героев, являющихся сильными личностями, мудрыми людьми, которые достойны восхищения. На мой взгляд, это является причиной его растущей популярности во многих странах. Он не только талантливый актер, чья игра обращает ваше внимание тот самый момент, когда вы видите его лицо на экране. Но он также является успешным продюсером и продолжает работать над новыми фильмами, которые наверняка будут развлекать людей.
