"Stephen Baldwin says he&amp;apos;s one of the many victims of the BP oil rig disaster -- and he blames Kevin Costner.\r\nBaldwin is suing Costner for unspecified damages  over a business deal gone awry, documents at TMZ confirm.\r\n\r\nBack in April (when the oil spill first occurred), the suit says, Costner convinced Baldwin to become a 10% partner in a company that built machines that separated oil from water; the contraption was reportedly developed while Costner filmed Waterworld in the late 90s.\r\nPHOTOS: Memorable Hollywood feuds\r\nThe documents allege that Costner and his business partners didn&amp;apos;t disclose deals that were already in place, and later convinced Baldwin to sell back his shares so Costner could make a bigger profit. The invention was reportedly sold to BP for over $52 million.\r\n\r\nBaldwin says he was &amp;quot;effectively robbed&amp;quot; of sharing in those profits, and that Costner and his team &amp;quot;schemed&amp;quot; to profit from the disaster."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
