Biography

Recent Role:
Robert Lachman on Web Therapy
Gender:
Male
Birthplace:
Queens, New York, USA
Birth Name:
Steven Weber
Born in 1961 in Briarwood, Queens, New York, to two entertainment geared parents, Steven began his career quite early. He was a commercial actor while in the third grade and honed his craft, through the years, at the High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan, the State University of New York at Purchase, and through various performances on television, feature film, and Broadway.

Though perhaps not as widely known, Steven has certainly made his way through the trifecta of performing. He has acted in the Mirror Repertory Company, working with stars like Geraldine Page, and later earned his

More soap opera wings with a one year stint, opposite Julianne Moore, in As the World Turns. On a personal level, he met his first wife on this very set. He garnered more attention with roles in The Flamingo Kid and The Kennedys of Massachusetts, playing the difficult role of John F. Kennedy. Perhaps the role that gained him a true fan base, though, was that of Brian Hackett on Wings. He parlayed this popularity into roles like Jack Torrance in the television remake of Stephen King's The Shining and, once a King favorite, also You Know They Got a Hell of a Band (from the Nightmares and Dreamscapes mini-series) and Desperation. He has also, notably, been a guest star in Monk, with former costar Tony Shalhoub (2006). He has also starred in various short-lived television series, such as Cursed, Once and Again, and The D.A. Though the series proved short-lived, Weber also shined as Jack Rudolph on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and now makes his fans drool as Graham on Brothers and Sisters.

Steven has also taken a turn on Broadway. He has played in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing and played Leo Bloom in The Producers (2001-2002), a role he doubted he would get but was encouraged by his wife and agent to try out for. Alan Alda earned an Emmy nod for his role as Weber's father in 2003's Clubland, a movie written and produced by Weber. In London, Weber also costarred with Kevin Spacey, in 2005, in National Anthems.

Weber's career continues to evolve and his resume continues to grow as this 1990s sitcom star refuses to stay down. On a personal note, after divorcing his first wife, he did in fact remarry and now is part of a family of four, including his two sons with his second wife.

    Amazingly Funny hide show

    Steven Weber seems to be a great person. But since I don't know him personally I can't say but what I can say is he's a great, talented, hilarious actor. On Wings he was awesome he nailed every line it was like the situations he was in were real. In Wings he played a average guy and did a great job of it. Then he guess stared on Monk as a guy who trained a dog to murder people.He also played on Law and Order SVU as a lawyer who seemed a little off. And watching those I realized he was also a great bad guy. And the he was on Million Dollar Password. And out of all the times I seen him act I liked him best when he's himself. You have to be a great actor to pull of bad guy, good guy, average guy and have great character as yourself. So keep up the good work Steven : )

    He's a talented actor. hide show

    I remember seeing Steven Weber on Wings, where he was basically playing the lighter comedy role of the brother who refuses to grow up. Now he's on Studio 60 and his role couldn't be more different.

    In this new show, he is the hard-nosed executive, and he seems to be playing the part well, so far. There's only been one episode, and I'm not sure how often he'll be in the episodes, but based on the one I saw, I hope he's in a lot of them; he adds the conflict necessary to make the show interesting.

    I never would have believed before that he'd be good playing that kind of role, after seeing him on Wings, but he is very good, and I'd like to see more of him.

    Wonderful actor. Very Handsome man. hide show

    Steven Weber is a brilliant actor. (how ever you spell it). Hes so cute on tv. I loved him in Wings. He makes wings so funny to watch. Hes like a little kid in a big mans body. I think he should have his own show..Like JOEY. If Steven Weber had his own show, The rating would sky rocket. His Son is so precious. He has a beautiful little boy. Steven seems like he could be a wonderfl husband and father. Greate actor. Wonderful personality.

    Great Actor, Very Underrated, kept Wings interesting... hide show

    His portrayel of Brian Hackett on Wings was a very underrated performance, and he is very talented. His chemistry with Tim Daly was great, as the chemistry was between him and the other actors and or actresses on the show. He had the rebellious attitude that most people wish they could have. The spontanaity of his character is something most people wish they could be, but never had the guts to be. He brings an energy and life to the show, and for those who don't like him, think of it this way. Without him the show would of been pretty dull. Lowell and Antonio were great, but everyone was brought together through Steven Weber.
