Peter Weller studied theater at North Texas University, and the heights of the acting profession comprehended at the American Academy of Dramatic Art, where his mentor was the famous Uta Hagen. On the stage, Weller made a noticeable career, just something did not suit him there, and he went to the movies. In 1979, he played a representative of the law in the film “Butch and Sundance: Early Years”, and after the cult for America tape “The Adventures of Baccarat Banzai in the Eighth Dimension”, he was invited to “Robocop” – director Paul Verhoeven liked “expressive lips”. Weller. Of course! Anyone who has seen the film knows that the actor simply does not have other “working tools” in this film. The success was such that soon they removed the sequel, but missed, and Weller refused to participate in the third series. The following projects brought neither much fame nor much money, although the actor - apparently out of habit - worked like an ox. Again about the actor started talking after the role of a drug-crazed writer in the “black” fantasy of David Cronenberg “Lunch naked”. Then followed the films Screamers and Roof of the World.
