Shaun Weiss (born August 27, 1978) is an American television and film actor.
Weiss started his acting career as Elvis on Pee-wee's Playhouse, but his breakout role came when he earned the part of Greg Goldberg in The Mighty Ducks films. Weiss was originally supposed to play Atuk the Eskimo in the first Mighty Ducks movie and had one line, but his role expanded into something much bigger.[2] After the first two Mighty Ducks movies, he had another key role as Josh Birnbaum in the Disney film Heavyweights. He enjoyed a notable run as peripheral freak "Sean" on the short-lived NBC dramedy Freaks and Geeks as well as some cameo appearances on the American sitcom The King of Queens. He appeared in commercials for Captain Morgan, Castrol, Verizon Wireless, and ESPN Mobile MVP. Weiss appeared in the movie Drillbit Taylor, making an appearance as the school bus driver around the beginning of the film.
Legal issues
In July 2017 Weiss was sentenced to 150 days in the Los Angeles County Jail for petty theft.[3] He served just 12 days in jail due to overcrowding.[4] Five days after his release, Weiss was arrested on August 2, 2017 for possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, in Burbank, California and was sentenced to 90 days in jail.[5][6] Weiss was arrested the weekend of August 3, 2018 for public intoxication.[7] Following that arrest, he declared that he was entering rehab.[8]
