Michael Weaver is a Canadian born actor, writer, director and musician
who first came to prominence as Officer Smy in Broken Lizard's comedy
hit Super Troopers. A move from New York to Los Angeles prompted his
debut in TV playing the series lead on The Mullets, alongside David
Horsnby, John O'Hurley & Loni Anderson. It was in Broken Lizard's next
film, Club Dread, that Weaver caught the eye of Bill Paxton who was
about direct The Greatest Game Ever Played with Shia Labeouf. A keen
golfer, Weaver easily assumed the role of 1912 US Open Champion John
McDermott. One of Weaver's best attributes has always been his ability
to move seamlessly from comedy to drama. Weaver continued to amass
guest starring TV appearances, most notably on CSI, Law & Order, Hot in
Cleveland, Law & Order SVU, Parenthood, Last Man Standing, NCIS, Up All
Night, Franklin & Bash and Happy Endings to name just a few. More
series regular roles came in the form of free wheeling bachelor Danny
on ABC's Notes from the Underbelly and inveterate A-hole Randy on The
Joe Schmo Show: The Full Bounty. Along the way, Weaver has
written/produced/directed/starred in his own YouTube series called
Heavy Petting as well as written/directed/starred in his own single
camera pilot presentation titled Middle Ages with Rachael Harris, Julie
Benz, Mary Birdsong & Bryan Callen.
