Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher paid a visit Thursday to the Miami U.S. Coast Guard station to promote their new film, "The Guardian," about two Coast Guard swimmers who rescue fisherman and boaters from dangerous ocean waters.
Costner told the assembled "Coasties" that actors "are not nearly as impressive in person as we seem to be on film."
The trip was among several stops on a planned multistate tour of Coast Guard stations.
Costner plays a veteran Coast Guard swimmer sent to teach in Kodiak, Alaska, after his crew is lost in a crash. Kutcher's character is a cocky newcomer.
Kutcher said he hoped the movie would give the public more appreciation for the Coast Guard's "courageous and honorable" work.
"The Guardian" is set for release September 29.
