“#Steven Weber Introduces Dean Archer & Previews Changed Dynamic With Ethan<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though he\u2019s really good at what he does, he might not be good at healing himself,\u201d Steven Weber<\/a>, who joins Chicago Med<\/em><\/a> in the recurring role of Dr. Dean Archer in the March 10 episode, says of his character.<\/p>\n

Dean comes in to serve as ED Chief Ethan Choi\u2019s (Brian Tee<\/a>) second-in-command \u2014 after he was the latter\u2019s mentor during their time serving in the Navy. \u201cHe taught Ethan a lot of what he has become expert at,\u201d Weber previews.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time his app<\/a>eared in one of Dick Wolf\u2019s<\/a> shows, which are all connected, thanks to crossovers; he guest starred on Law & Order: SVU<\/em><\/a> and Criminal Intent<\/em> (in different roles). \u201cI\u2019m surprised everybody isn\u2019t in it,\u201d he laughs of the \u201cbig world\u201d of that universe.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also not the first time he\u2019s played a doctor. While both his Med<\/em> and Chasing Life<\/em><\/a> characters are healers, \u201cDean is more complex and darker\u201d than oncologist George Carver, Weber says. \u201cHe\u2019s wounded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weber tells us more about his character.<\/p>\n

Why the move to Chicago for Dean? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Steven Weber:<\/strong> There is more to it [than Ethan hiring him]. Over time, Dean, whose private practice fell by the wayside, has needed a little help and it came in the form of Ethan, who I guess arguably needed a little help and he remembered his old superior in the Navy [and thought] he would be a good addition. They have a shared history, having both served and seen some action, and a good working dynamic, at least at the start.<\/p>\n

\"Dean<\/p>\n

How does that past inform the way they interact in the present?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As in a lot, if not all, of the characters in the Dick Wolf universe, these people aren\u2019t stereotypes and they carry their pasts with them. Despite Dean and Ethan\u2019s ability to move on past their service, there might be hints of some PTSD. In Dean at least, there might be some issues that maybe go a little deeper in terms of his self-identity, how he\u2019s aging, and the fact he now has to work under the guy who used to work under him, and how he fits in.<\/p>\n

He may be a bit of a dinosaur in this new world. He\u2019s still very good at what he does. He still is an excellent and intuitive surgeon, but he might be a bit out of fashion, and that\u2019s starting to become apparent.<\/p>\n

What does he think of how Ethan\u2019s doing as chief of the ED? <\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s respectful of Ethan and the fact that he has attained this great position, but it\u2019s hard for him. And also I think he\u2019s got some issues with his ego. If he sees Ethan doing so well, Dean probably can\u2019t help but think, \u201cHe\u2019s doing well because I taught him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"April<\/p>\n

(Elizabeth Sisson\/NBC)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What does he think of what Ethan expects from him as his second-in-command? <\/strong><\/p>\n

At first, he forgets he\u2019s second-in-command, but it\u2019s Ethan who has to teach him. Even though Dean has all these other issues, he\u2019s not above being able to be humble and understand that the world is changing and he has to change along with it or be left at the wayside.<\/p>\n

Brian Tee said Dean \u201csticks his head into places he shouldn\u2019t\u201d and makes messes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He oversteps his authority. He still assumes he\u2019s number one. He\u2019s got to let Ethan be his boss, and that\u2019s a little difficult for him, especially for a person who\u2019s had almost a full career at this point in his life and has earned his strip<\/a>es and his ego, to a certain extent.<\/p>\n

What about his personal life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are suggestions that he\u2019s been suffering from a blow to his self-esteem. He\u2019s afraid of aging out of his profession. He had his own practice for a while, which is something he aspired to after the service, and that was not successful for a variety of reasons. He has to work under one of his pupils \u2014 it\u2019s like someone having to move back in with their parents \u2014 and while it\u2019s necessary and not a bad thing intrinsically, if you have an ego, an idea of where you saw yourself and you didn\u2019t end up there, it could be a blow.<\/p>\n

\"Steven<\/p>\n

(Elizabeth Sisson\/NBC)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s the possibility he, as well as Ethan, had witnessed some potentially traumatic events while they were in the Navy. It\u2019s a real issue for people who served in areas of conflict around the world \u2014 they carry it with them for the rest of their lives. My father was a Korean War veteran, who I only realized years after he died was a guy that had terrible PTSD. Because of that, I became involved in an organization, New Directions for Veterans, which helps veterans with employment, their health, finding homes. These are the things the show might possibly touch on.<\/p>\n

Who does he go home to? Himself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, he\u2019s a single man of a certain age. I\u2019m not sure he\u2019s able to be with somebody. He\u2019s a guy that eschews therapy for scotch, liquid therapy. He tries to cope with the changing world and the changes in himself in ways that might not necessarily be so healthy. He\u2019s got to be with himself. Maybe he doesn\u2019t want to be.<\/p>\n
