Kevin Costner remembers encountering a pre-fame Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on the set of 'Field of Dreams,' when the duo appeared as extras early in their careers.

Kevin Costner has many fond memories of filming 'Field of Dreams,' including crossing paths with a then unknown Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The 'Good Will Hunting' stars appeared as extras during a scene filmed at Fenway Park in Boston, the duo’s hometown. During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' this week, Costner confirmed he 'absolutely' remembers the pair. 'I did remember it,' Costner said. 'They were sitting in the stands, like college guys.

The movie even got a shout-out during this year's Oscars from comedian John Mulaney, who made a lengthy reference to it during his best sound award presentation. Two years after 'Field of Dreams,' Costner won two Oscars for 'Dances with Wolves,' for best director and best picture, and earned a best actor nomination as well.

Not long after that, Affleck and Damon picked up their own Oscars for the screenplay for 'Good Will Hunting' in 1998.
