The movie Just Desserts on the Hallmark channel reunites Costas with his Picket Fences costar, Lauren Holly. The romantic comedy also features a cameo by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.
While starring in Players, Costas appeared in 2 public service announcements for NBC's The More You Know. His topics were teen pregnancy and substance abuse.
Costas: Life teaches you lessons. You either pay attention to them or you don't. I really feel like I'm standing my ground now and taking chances. I'm doing things I want to do, not what others want me to do. That means I'm owning myself.
Costas: There are only twenty million people in Australia. Where I come from, Melbourne, you can't get away from family. Here you can escape from it. At home, you can't. You'll see a cousin down one street. Turn a corner and you'll spot an uncle. People stay close together without even trying.
Costas: Sometimes in movies, a nice face can't act, I don't want to have that problem. Hey, I'll blacken my tooth, pull out my eye, anything to get a decent role.
