Peter Weller traveled extensively as a child. Peter Weller's father, a career Army helicopter pilot, literally flew around the world. Before Peter was out of his teens, he had attended high schools in Heidelberg, Germany and San Antonio, Texas, then enrolled at North Texas State University.

If you were to ask Peter Weller who his favorite performer in any art form is and he'll say Miles Davis. Peter is a huge jazz fan.

Two weeks after graduating, Peter Weller made his first appearance on Broadway as David, in Joseph Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival production, of David Rabe's STICKS AND BONES.

By portraying "a walking heap of scrap metal," is how Peter Weller earned his fame after being cast as the quick-triggered cyborg of ROBOCOP, in 1987.
