Looks like Steven Weber will be scrubbing in at Chicago Med.
TVLine has learned on Wednesday that Steven Weber will be in a recurring role in the NBC hit medical drama's sixth season.
Weber, whose most recent roles were in Netflix's 13 Reasons Why and NBC's Indebted, will play Dr. Dean Archer, a wry, blunt, and talented physician who makes the move from a rural hospital to Gaffney Chicago Medical Center's Emergency Department, where he already knows one of the docs.
As a former Naval officer, Dr. Archer oversaw Dr.Ethan Choi during active duty. But with Ethan as the newly instated chief of the ED, Dr. Archer finds himself struggling to be second in command.
Weber is slated to make his debut in early March.
In a recent interview with TVLine, showrunners Andrew Schneider and Diane Frolov said that Ethan will have his own struggling as the ED's chief. "(There's) a lot of strife and adapting to" his new position. "It's not only the pressure that he puts on the staff, but the pressure he puts on himself to perform. There are consequences."
Weber has a long-acting credit, mostly known for his leading role in the 1990's NBC sitcom, Wings. And not to mention, Get Shorty, Ballers, NCIS: New Orleans, Mom, iZombie, Chasing Life, Brothers and Sisters, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and Once and Again.
I'm so looking forward to seeing Steven Weber and what he will bring to the show. It looks like adding Weber's character will give Ethan a much challenging role as the chief in the ED.I can't wait!
