Personal Quote:

(2011, on Zodiac) I loved working with David [Fincher]. David pushes you in a way that will test your resolve and your own character. Him and Terry, the similarities... He's focused, knows what he wants. He keeps doing it, keeps honing it. Sometimes you do a lot of takes, and I love that. You get the chance to relax into it... See more »

Trivia:

He is frequently confused for actor Christopher Meloni, although Koteas is less beefy and Meloni is of Italian-French descent rather than Greek. See more »
