Michael Weaver is a multifaceted Canadian-born individual, whose impressive array of talents includes acting, writing, directing, and music. His career trajectory began to take shape when he first gained recognition as Officer Smy in the comedy hit Super Troopers, a film that showcased his comedic prowess.
A subsequent move from New York to Los Angeles marked a significant turning point in Weaver's career, as he landed the series lead role in the TV show The Mullets, alongside a talented ensemble cast that included David Horsnby, John O'Hurley, and Loni Anderson.
Weaver's next notable role came in Broken Lizard's film Club Dread, which caught the attention of renowned actor and director Bill Paxton. Paxton was so impressed with Weaver's performance that he offered him the lead role in his film The Greatest Game Ever Played, alongside Shia Labeouf. Weaver's portrayal of 1912 US Open Champion John McDermott was a natural fit, given his own passion for golf.

In addition to his on-screen work, Weaver has also ventured into the world of writing, production, and direction. He has created and starred in his own YouTube series, Heavy Petting, as well as written and directed the single-camera pilot presentation Middle Ages, which features an impressive cast that includes Rachael Harris, Julie Benz, Mary Birdsong, and Bryan Callen.
