Elias Koteas

Born in Montréal, Quebec, Elias Koteas attended Vanier College with the idea of pursuing a career in architecture or civil engineering. Attending acting classes prior to graduation prompted him to apply at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, of which he is a graduate. He began his career with stage work, debuting on the big screen in the 1985 movie One Magic Christmas. His breakout role came in 1989, in the tile role of Victor Malarek, a true story based on a Canadian investigative journalist. His performance in Malarek, initially a made-for-television movie, was so powerful that the movie was given a limited theatrical release.
