What Is Elias Koteas Doing Now? – Celebrity

Does Elias Have A Wife?

Despite being open about his profession, he relatively keeps his personal life away from the limelight. The details of his previous wife are somewhat a mystery, but his dating rumors after his divorce have made it into tabloid headlines.

As he is most known for Chicago P.D ., his enthusiastic fans flooded the internet asking the question ‘ Is Elias Koteas dead?’ after his character was killed off on its fifth season. Well, he is clearly now dead and is currently involved in his upcoming projects.

Did Koteas write off Olinsky?

However, as it turns out, the decision to write Olinsky off the show was not one made by Koteas. Following Koteas’s exit from the show back in 2018, showrunner Rick Eid told TVLine that the decision to kill off Olinsky was one the creative team came to which led to Koteas’s exit from the show.

Although it is possible that Chicago PD could find a way to bring Elias Koteas back as Alvin Olinsky, there does not appear to be any plans for Koteas to return to the show and it seems highly unlikely he’ll return anytime soon.
