In 1993, Weller was one of the main regulars in the TV series Missing Persons. He has made guest appearances in episodes of Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Monk and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. He has also appeared in several well-received films, such as Stonewall, The Business of Strangers, The Shape of Things, and the 2000 drama/miniseries The Beach Boys: An American Family portraying the character Brian Wilson.
Weller was initially successful as a stage actor, and stage acting is still his biggest passion.[1] He performed in Neil LaBute and David Mamet plays and films.[1]
Weller has also played lead roles in many successful independent films, including Neil Labute's The Shape of Things (with Paul Rudd and Rachel Weisz), James Tobak's When Will I Be Loved (opposite Neve Campbell) and The Business of Strangers (with Stockard Channing and Julia Stiles).
Weller is currently starring in the USA Network comedy-drama series In Plain Sight as U.S. Marshal Marshall Mann. He works closely with Mary McCormack (U.S. Marshal Mary Shannon) during filming.
