Biography
Elias Koteas est né le 11 mars 1961 à Montréal, au Canada. Ses deux parents sont d'origine grecque. Elias a fréquenté le Vanier College à Montréal avant de le quitter pour l'Académie américaine des arts dramatiques à New York en 1981, dont il est diplômé. Il a également fréquenté le Actors Studio à New York, où il a étudié le théâtre sous la direction d'Ellen Burstyn et Peter Masterson. Ses débuts au cinéma ont été dans Un drôle de Noël (1985). Il est également apparu sur scène dans Le baiser de la femme araignée, La mort d'un vendeur, Bent et The Cherry Orchard. En 1989, il a été mis en nomination pour le prix Génie (Prix de l'Académie du Canada) du meilleur acteur à Malarek (1988), une histoire vraie dans laquelle il incarne un journaliste troublé devenu enfant de la rue pour un journal canadien. Elias a joué un rôle décisif en 1990, lorsqu'il a obtenu le rôle du justicier Casey Jones dans Les tortues ninja (1990) et ses suites. Il est l'un des acteurs les plus populaires au Canada et apparaît souvent dans des films des réalisateurs canadiens Atom Egoyan et David Cronenberg. C’est le film controversé Crash (1996) de Cronenberg qui a fait vibrer Cannes en 1996. Elias incarne Vaughan, un « scientifique fou » autoproclamé avec un fétiche inhabituel, un délice sexuel dans un accident de voiture. Les années suivantes ont été bien remplies pour Koteas, qui a ajouté six rôles supplémentaires à son CV. En tant que capitaine James Staros, commandant de la compagnie Charlie à La ligne rouge (1998), il a apporté de la sensibilité et de la compassion à son portrait d'un homme soucieux de la sécurité de ses hommes - même au risque de sa propre carrière. En 2000, il est apparu dans Les âmes perdues (2000), un thriller mettant en vedette Winona Ryder, et a joué à Broadway avec Josh Brolin dans la pièce de Sam Shepard True West.Best films

In 1954, two U.S. Marshals - Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule - travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island located in Boston Harbor as part of an investigation into the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando, incarcerated for drowning her three children. The sole clue is a note left by Solando, which reads: "The law of 4; who is 67?" Shortly after arrival, a storm prevents their return to the mainland for several days. Daniels finds the staff confrontational: the lead psychiatrist, Dr. John Cawley, refuses to hand over records of the hospital staff; Solando's doctor, Dr. Lester Sheehan, had left on vacation after her disappearance, and they are barred from searching Ward C and told that the lighthouse on the island has already been searched, so there is no need to search it. When a patient is being interrogated by Daniels, with a subterfuge she sends Aule away for a few seconds and scribbles "RUN" in Daniels' notepad.
