Mitchell Kosterman
Mitchell Kosterman is an actor, born 1958.
Mitchell Kosterman is a Vancouver actor, born there in 1958, and his filmography is a map of what Vancouver shot. Everything on this page was made in British Columbia during the long stretch when American networks discovered the Canadian dollar: Wiseguy in the late 1980s, The Commish in the early 1990s, Chris Carter's Millennium, the short-lived Wolf Lake, and Smallville, where he played Ethan Miller.
The parts are the working end of the business. A henchman in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, a cop in Millennium, a crew chief in the aviation drama Freefall: Flight 174, a workman in White Noise, Becker in Sole Survivor. There is no published biography to draw on and no interview trail, which is true of most of the people who make a television industry function.
That is the honest summary: a dependable local hire across roughly two decades of genre television, visible to anyone who watched enough of it and named by almost nobody.

Where to start with Mitchell Kosterman
The easiest place to find him is Smallville, as Ethan Miller in the show's early seasons, and that is the credit most people arrive here looking for.
Beyond that, treat this as a spotting exercise. Millennium is the best show on the list by some distance, Chris Carter's bleak procedural about a profiler who sees too much, and worth watching whether or not you catch him in it. Wiseguy and The Commish are the crime end of his Vancouver run, and Wolf Lake is the strange one, a small-town werewolf drama cancelled before it worked out what it wanted to be.
The films are minor: White Noise, Sole Survivor and Freefall: Flight 174, the last a dramatisation of a real airliner that ran out of fuel in mid-flight.
