Entertainment Now | September 23 - 29, 2023 By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: I feel like I know Alvin Olinsky on "Chicago P.D." from something as a youth. What did the actor do be- fore? A: Elias Koteas, formerly of "Chicago P.D.," wasn't exactly "a youth" when he got his big break, but you might have been a youth when you saw it. Opinions differ on what his star-making role actually was, but most have narrowed it down to one of two big-screen hits. In both cases, he was play- ing a street-wise tough in a teen-skewing film. In 1987, he played a skinhead named Duncan in "Some Kind of Wonderful," a high school dramedy penned by the great John Hughes ("The Breakfast Club," 1985). Then three years later, he played the sports- themed vigilante Casey Jones in 1990's live-action "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie. He was 26 when he did "Some Kind of Wonderful," which is a little old to be a high schooler, but so were most of his co-stars. That was kind of Hughes' calling card — casting adults as teens meant the actors were a little more able to do the dramatic and comedic heavy- lifting his movies required. In between those two big roles, the Montreal-born Koteas won a Genie (the name of Cana- da's movie awards at the time) for his starring role in "Mala- rek." Again he was playing a street-wise kid, but this time in an adult-oriented film — the true story of Victor Malarek's transformation from troubled teen to respected journalist. Koteas returned for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III" in 1993, but that more or less marked the end of his teen-mov- ie career. He put a proper cap on it three years later when he starred in the decidedly very adult, multi-award-winning "Crash" (1996), about people who have a sexual fetish for car accidents (not to be confused with 2004's "Crash," about rac- ism in America). Piles of critically acclaimed roles followed, including his five-year run as part of the "One Chicago" TV universe, mostly on "Chicago P.D.," from 2013 to 2018, playing Det. Alvin Olinsky of the CPD Intelligence Unit. Have a question? Email us at questions@tvtabloid.com. Please include your name and town.
