There’s a new addition to the ED tonight on Chicago Med when Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee) hires an old Navy colleague to join him at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center’s Emergency Department, and Steven Weber joins the cast in the recurring role of Dr. Dean Archer, a wry, blunt, talented physician.
“It’s not easy being a veteran,” Weber tells Monsters & Critics in this exclusive interview about his character. “There are challenges that are both external and internal. And so, he’s trying to live his life and trying to do what he does best, which is help heal people. In this particular case, he’s working for the very person who used to work for him. And that’s a bit of a shift, especially for a guy of his age.”
