Kevin Costner's portrayal of midwestern farmer who builds a baseball field in his backyard in "Field of Dreams" is one of his most memorable performances, but the actor was not the first choice for the role.

The veteran actor has revealed the makers were planning to cast cinema icon Robin Williams in the film, before they approached him.

"There was an idea that maybe Robin Williams was going to do it, who I thought was sensational. And when I finally asked (director) Phil, I said, 'Well, why did you wait for me? Because I think Robin's really great.'
