ER'S VISNJIC: 'ACTING DOCTORS DON'T KNOW REAL MEDICINE'

ER star GORAN VISNJIC has warned actors who portray medics on screen not to get too caught up in their roles, because they don't really know how to practice medicine. Visnjic, who has played Dr Luka Kovac in the American TV drama for the last 12 years, thinks actors can sometimes blur the line between fantasy and reality, believing they know real medicine. The 34-year-old reckons he could perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if necessary, but says, "You shouldn't think you can do medicine because you play a doctor."
