David Marshall Grant (as David Grant) costarred with Kevin Costner in a terrific 1985 movie "American Flyers" directed by John Badham and written by Steve Tesich.
Not only was his performance wonderful, but he has a frontal nude scene. Costner bares his butt in this one too.
I remember fancying him in American Flyers.
