Funny story: about an hour after I posted this, Koteas tweeted me his thanks for the post. I didn't think it was him (the account wasn't verified), but we got into a Twitter conversation and it most definitely was him. Such a cool guy. No idea how he found the post. Bummer that he just deleted his account.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-14568081734452286182014-05-13T20:08:03.874-04:002014-05-13T20:08:03.874-04:00Elias has been one of my favorite actors ever sinc...Elias has been one of my favorite actors ever since i first saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid. I remember he was so cool as Casey Jones that i not only wanted to be him for every Halloween after that, but i also wanted to wear that costume to school. As i got older i kept noticing him in other movies as well and he was always great every time no mater how small his roles got. Did you ever watch a movie called Hit Me that he did in 1996? It's one of the few movies he is the star of. It also stars William H. Macy and Philip Baker Hall. It's pretty hard to find, but it's worth it. I tracked the dvd down a few years ago on Ebay for cheap.Henrik J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12675100900709348187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-42139979625117117512013-03-20T10:22:03.272-04:002013-03-20T10:22:03.272-04:00Yes, I completely agree on all fronts.
