In the new season of Chicago Med, Steven Weber will make his debut as Ethan’s Navy supervisor, Dr. Dean Archer.
The newest member of the hospital staff “is grateful for the opportunity to be in this environment again, because he had a practice before which didn’t survive the economy,” Weber tells TVLine.
Dr Archer, however, is brought in by Dr Ethan Choi, and the reunion between Dr, Archer and Dr. Navy, who were once mentor and mentee, isn’t all smooth sailing.
“That’s an issue for him,” Weber says. “He has a degree of pride and probably some ego that is justifiably earned. He’s very good at what he does. He’s an intuitive surgeon. He can take chances, which pay off quite often.”
Dr. Archer still has some things to learn, however, despite being extremely skilled at his job.
“He’s not number one anymore,” Weber said. “There are a few instances where he oversteps, and this is noticeable and eventually has to be dealt with.”
