Early Life and Career[edit]
Coates had never seen a play and first saw one when he went to University of Saskatchewan, and took Drama as an elective. Once hooked, he dove into theatre.[3] He admits that he took Drama by chance in university and after two years he knew that he wanted to be an actor. Coates portrayed Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire and played the youngest ever title role of Macbeth at the Stratford Theatre. Coates made his debut in a 1986 movie called, The Boy in Blue. Even though it was a very small role, it opened up opportunities for him and has come in over a 100 titles to date.[4][5][6]
Personal life[edit]
Coates was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to Fred and Joyce Coates.[7][8] He lives in Los Angeles, California with his wife, Diana, and two children: Kyla and Brenna.[9][10] He is known to be good friends with actor William Fichtner as well as Kevin Costner.
