What an unsung legend this man is.

[@markwood6641]

He will always be Casey Jones to me.

[@Dane_Youssef]

I still see Vaughn from CRASH. You can't really forget that character.

[@salvador3828]

He’ll always be detective olinsky to me

[@chrisbean]

My feeling's exactly.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

Elias wasn't even in the second TMNT movie and the interviewer said that was his favorite of the three movies. What a maroon!

[@b_side8669]

Sarcastically Deranged agreed I was like he wasn’t even In the second one dip shit lol he was in the first & third movie

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

I agree. His brain was definately marooned

[@ThreeLions82]

I noticed he mentioned Vanilla Ice, but it was about MC Hammer in the original.

[@starwarsunfiltered7848]

*moron

[@frankthetank819]

lol Casey jones aka Elias koteas legend don’t know why they didn’t have him in the 2nd but had him in the 3rd

[@mr.speyside5240]

Elias was like, “you’re annoying me but I’m nice and just gonna let this ride. But I really have to go.”

[@JSSTyger]

Elias: What was your favorite Turtles movie You: Part 2 Elias: Thats the one I wasn't in. AWKWARD!!

[@SumDumGai5]

Elias is humoring this guy but the guy isn't getting the picture that Elias doesn't really want to talk Turtles. That was a long ass time ago and he's done so much since then. Nothing about his work on Chicago PD?

[@samuelzavala845]

Elias Koteas is an amazing actor. As a kid I saw him in TNMT but as an adult I seen him in Exotica, Crash and The Adjuster. He is an incredible character actor. He is the greatest Casey Jones of all time, but he has done much, much more!

[@skrimaging]

Casey wasn’t in #2 so you can see the sheer drop in interest from Elias after interviewer says that. A true 1990 movie fan should have gotten this interview.

[@Brett.Hatfield]

Casey wasnt even in 2. Chode

[@frankcoley1537]

Jesus he was so bad... 😢 why did he just sound like a Moron in front of this man.

[@paulahampton5949]

He seems like a very down to earth guy!

[@SumDumGai5]

He was annoyed but kept it in check

[@nerdygameraddicts861]

@@SumDumGai5 he would of still kept in check if he ignored the interviewer.

[@parkerbeard6170]

Judith Hoag has said off camera he's very shy, quite and keeps to himself.

[@StaticBlaster]

Mr. Casey Jones and April (Judith Hoag) have incredible chemistry together. It's amazing how time flies and it sucks. I wish I was back in the 90s and I'm sure they'd want to be back in the 90s as well. Someone invent a time machine, please.

[@patmccrotch5373]

This was uncomfortable, this guy is ignorant on body language and social cues, I actually feel pretty bad for Elias, he handled this as well as anyone could in this awkward situation.

[@yamchasokidan4548]

lolll so true hahahahaha

[@believer9560]

Definately my favorite character Casey Jones.

[@d3maccus]

This guy was thinking: "dude leave me alone, I didn't watch it, and you're an adult man talking about fictional turtles being too tall."

[@benoakman3069]

"Yeah they are kinda huge, right?" - even as oblivious to it all as Elias is, he still noticed how large the new Turtles were lol

[@truthseeker3503]

I would of asked if he knew what crumpet is.

[@TheGrouchDnD]

This dude is a straight up legend, every time he pops in to a movie or TV scene, I get crunk

[@mrlij6534]

easily my favorite character in the turtles movie. he brought the humor and cool to it

[@ghostdog2041]

I’m 37 seconds in, and this guy should have gotten the hint to go away.

[@film79]

My respect for Elias has gone up, and i already respected him a whole lot. Putting up with this awkward tmz person seems like absolute hell.

[@MP-in4or]

He was amazing in TMNT. So funny. Especially the scene where he was mocking Tatsu calling him tinker bell.

[@ponrix]

He's such an interesting actor. Whenever he pops up in a movie he enhances it.

[@raykelly107]

He did a small cameo in the third film if I remember correctly.

[@insidetrevor2924]

He was two different characters in it

[@kusuma.kusuma]

Man, this was cringe worthy. One of the rarest footage of Mr Koteas actually discussing his TMNT roots but this dude gets it wrong... what a shame. Clearly the first film is the superior of ALL the films. And Mr Koteas SHINES as Casey...

[@thesundog8833]

Agreed

[@YoungPadawan85]

agreed completely, first film was the best film, it has aged beautifully, bittersweet nostalgia of my childhood

[@nicholassage2076]

tiimeee is on my side, yes it is !

[@patrickgogan3517]

Fallen lol

[@billyalarie929]

Wait was he in this???

[@Omaru1982]

@@billyalarie929 not for very long, but his character Azazel was in it all the way through lol

[@alfonsotorres5673]

I knew he looked familiar 😂 I just started watching Chicago PD

[@josephbendzinski5797]

I have seen Elias in several movies - one was Apt Pupil - Both Elias and Brad Renfro were outstanding - other movies A Hunting in Conn and the prophecy - No question the man is a top actor

[@SMAAAASHTV]

Interviewer: You were my favorite character. Also Interviewer: Secret of the Ooze was my favorite movie. (You know, the one without Casey Jones)

[@conservativewarrior777]

He's a great actor and played Casey Jones better than any actor!

[@devoncones7146]

I like paparazzi individuals who are respectable and decent to entertainers......respect Will 👌

[@brettaudette7263]

Good that he was respectful .would of been good if he knew anything about the subject he was talking about

[@TYGR3T]

Poor Elias. 🤦‍♂️ The guy was just trying to get dinner. Leave him alone and know your facts about the movies I’m he has been in before you start saying dumb shit.

[@notsureiL]

@@TYGR3T Good thing he didn't pull out his inner Olinsky.

[@miketalife]

Will was an embarrassment in this interview. He was unprepared and wrong on all the Casey Jones info. 👎

[@frankcoley1537]

And are totally non informed ....

[@gf08659]

Elias Koteas was in the first and third TMNT movies.

[@randypiper7485]

I love him as Casey!. Just so cool!. Truly awesome actor. I think I really enjoyed the scene in "The Fourth Kind" where him and Will Patton are talking fringe before arresting that poor mother at the house. 2 great actors. It was such a amazing scene for me.

[@hugocruz011]

He was in movies 1 and 3 not two.

[@raydonahue1978]

If you like Elias Koteas as Casey Jones, you have to see Some Kind of Wonderful, which Koteas is in.

[@raydonahue1978]

What the hell. He seriously told Elias Koteas his favorite is II, the only movie of the '90s trilogy without Casey Jones. While saying he liked II because he likes Casey Jones.

[@frankthetank819]

Casey jones legend best ninja turtles movies all time nothing compares

[@jibson2003]

Lets annoy an actor and try to have a conversation when they're just trying to do their own thing.

[@Toxicplyer]

Vanilla Ice should never had been in the 2nd film

[@gethprime477]

Eliass character shouldve showed up and take a hockey stick to vanilla ices kneecaps

[@rickyj1250]

You're the guy who broke into Stew Leonard's that time. You stole all those pork loins

[@boarder614]

Haha! "My name's Dominick...I know you don't know me..."

[@JoeHickey-n9q]

Casey Jones was always my favourite character in the turtles

[@carolhartman4715]

Elias had that expression, "is this guy for real"? TMNT 2 would have been dope if Josh Pais at least voiced Raph, Corey voicing Donny but he was in rehab at the time. Judith back as well as Elias. Danny could of played Keno's role. Lastly, the violence and edge of the first film. Done.

[@charlieredeemed]

Casey Jones was and will always be awesome!!! The Prophecy was another movie he did with Christopher Walken, recorded in towns I grew-up in, as a kid in Arizona; Globe, Miami, and Superior.👍👍👍

[@georgiosvivilakis8018]

Lmao the interviewer is the most ignorant and out of place “tmnt fan” Ive ever seen😂😂let the man be. These questions are literally awkward af

[@KGBeast.]

The interviewer says the second one is his favorite yet Casey Jones isn't even in the second one

[@danielgoss6367]

Interesting how every video I see him in no one bothers to say his name. For years now I have never known how to pronounce his name correctly 😂

[@Hasashi-f8v]

I don't know why but Elias Koteas reminds me David Hasselhoff

[@juspeel]

Casey Jones..! I had the TMNT 90s movies DVD collection. It sucks because I was hard up for cash and sold my DVD/Blu-ray player to the pawnshop last August. I think the DVD for the 1990 TMNT film stayed in the player…😭😂

[@insidetrevor2924]

He was in 1 and 3 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@guitarvirtuoduder]

Dude doesn’t know anything about the movies.

[@frankthetank819]

Such a nice guy but the guy recording didn’t even know which movie he was in 😂😂😂

[@RyanHalverson1999]

You can't be a fan and not know that he wasn't in Secret of the Ooze. lol

[@briankillacky5569]

Casey wasn’t in 2...... he was in 1 and 3

[@mariajuliairurueta8510]

Tendría que haberle preguntado algo sobre la serie Chicago P.D.

[@bvigil1888]

Who wants to walk with Elias!!?

[@nuffzed2001]

I know him for 2 roles Casey jones (from ninja turtles) and the thin red line 😜

[@joellucca1662]

Kc wasn’t in two

[@newdamage5945]

Um did he forget he was in the 3rd movie too?????

[@jcat8403]

To be fair that movie was crap

[@gobbo1231]

Bro Elias was in 1 and 3

[@qhfilms7334]

Dude…You had Elias’s attention for an interview, and then you tell him Turtles 2 is your favorite and assume he’s in it… As our horrendous president would say, “Come on, man!”

[@tejsel]

Al from Chicago PD... lol

[@thesundog8833]

Jesus christ this is horrible to watch.

[@nemospodcast6766]

Hey will next time know your shit, before you speak brother! HE WAS IN THE 1st film and the 3rd! Film same Corey F. But I love how he said I didn’t even see the one that I was in! Wtf 😂 he forgot that he did the third movie or he’s too embarrassed to talk about it he was great in the movie!

[@kotd009]

"6 runs"

[@mojmirah]

... is this an interview or monolog of a man behind the camera ... omg

[@christiangarduno8046]

[@zacharyjohnson6453]

Yo... he was in 1 & 3 😆

[@Txkid-k5y]

Casey Jones they messed up the third movie badly he was in that one

[@TheMickBailey]

This is embarrassing. You’ve cornered someone who seems like a genuine guy and you claim to be a fan but you list your favourite movie of the franchise as the only one he isn’t in and claim to have no knowledge of this. Go home.

[@Fiazco]

Casey Jones was way too cool in TMNT. I mean if you stand out in a Movie about some human like mutated reptiles that’s a Thing.

[@vonpiro2397]

Talking about garbage for kids instead of Crash!

[@brantisonfire]

How many times do you get mistaken for chris meloni on any given day?

[@Alejandra_Filmz]

Y u sound like Peter from family guy ?

[@magneto1764]

It's cool to see respectful interviewers but i think he got a little nervous and excited to meet Elias Koteas because he really didn't know he's stuff well lol Casey Jones appeared in the first original movie and part III. It would of been dope to see him in the second one do 😎

[@72blxxdbpsfoo]

I can't stand ppl that don't know what they're talking about
