Elias Koteas isn’t exactly a name you would associate with series television. After all his body of work is an impressive list of feature films from Exotica to The Thin Red Line.
Yet, he’s about to debut in the new ABC drama Combat Hospital, starring as a wartime physician in 2006 Afghanistan – which is something the actor didn’t expect either.
Koteas admits that coming to terms with the tight schedules has been an adjustment for him because he’s a perfectionist when it comes to creating a character.
He prefers to take more time to create his characters, but Koteas (who we spoke with while he was promoting Combat Hospital with co-star Michelle Borth) tells us in the video below that he has learned to accept that he’s given his all to the role as Colonel Xavier Marks, MD CF.
Combat Hospital debuts June 21st, 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
