The GuardianField of Dreams). And when you see films like that or JFK or Dances with Wolves or The Bodyguarddo. That's their job. Your job isn't to be great at that. Your job is to look like you're great at that."

Though such a set would seem to be a natural for pranks, Punk'd co-creator Kutcher says, "it was too dangerous to be messing around."
But he did pull off one small stunt. It was the middle of the day, and Costner was taking a break, dozing in a chair in his rescue garb.
"We had this agreement before filming started that we were going to trust each other because it was going to be loud and we would be in the water. And if we thought the other was in trouble, we didn't want to hesitate to go to his aid," Costner says. "We made a pact."
But, he says, "one spot emerged from this leopard. I'm like this (snoozing) and he's got this towel held up behind me and it says 'Action Hero' and points to me."

Says Kutcher, laughing: "I got a good picture of it. That will never be released."
