Steven Weber has been playing Dr. Dean Archer on ‘Chicago Med’ since 2021Flavor: Exclusive
Steven Weber assured Chicago Med fans that they “will certainly not be disappointed” after the show’s midseason return — but his character, Dr. Dean Archer, still has a lot to sort out.
The last time viewers saw Weber’s Dr. Archer he was sliding his resignation letter under Sharon Goodwin’s door while, unbeknownst to him, she was being held captive by her season 10 stalker. “Because of his background in the Navy and the stuff he did during the war … his kind of instinct to try to take action kicks in,” the actor explained, noting that the surgeon has “always had kinda emotional difficulties getting close to people, but he feels a real bond with this person, this Sharon Goodwin.”
“They're affected by the news that one of their own has been so hurt and so impacted, and everybody begins to take stock in themselves,” he shared, revealing that the doctors and nurses will “spring into action even if they’re overwhelmed by emotion.” “This was a real jolt to him,” he explained. “His emotional arc in these four seasons that I've been playing him has been understanding the need for emotional connection to his son, to his family, and to his coworkers, and to shed a lot of the defensiveness that he had probably before his active duty. So he's got to figure out what this jolt means to him as a person of a certain age, a certain time of life.
