Early life and education [link]
Weller was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, the son of lawyers Carole and Francis Weller.[1] He is a 1984 graduate of Jesuit High School, a Catholic all-boys high school in New Orleans.[2] He graduated summa cum laude from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1988.[1][3][4] He then studied acting at The Juilliard School as a member of the Drama Division's Group 21 (1988–1992).[5]
Career [link]
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.[6] He performed in Neil LaBute and David Mamet plays and films.[6]
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 starred in the USA Network comedy-drama series In Plain Sight as Deputy U.S. Marshal Marshall Mann. He worked closely with Mary McCormack (Deputy U.S. Marshal Mary Shannon) during filming.

Weller married actress Ali Marsh on September 6, 2003.[1] They have three children, a daughter Azalea, born 2007 (age 4–5),[7] whose godmother is his In Plain Sight co-star Mary McCormack.[8], and two other children born sometime between 2008 and 2011.
He is a cousin of actor Peter Weller.[6]
