Jake Weber Biography

jake weber
  • Birth Place: London, England
  • Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 03/12/1963, Pisces
  • Profession: Actor
Born in England and trained in New York, this dependable supporting player has made a career out of blending into the background. Handsome, but not strikingly so, and adept at myriad accents and characters, he honed his talents on stage before launching a career in film and TV. Regular roles on two TV shows — Something Wilder and the underrated horror series American Gothic — led to small parts in a plethora of films. Eventually his roles got bigger (a wisecracking buddy in Pushing Tin, a resourceful zombie killer in the remake of Dawn of the Dead) although his face remained more familiar than his name. In 2005 a plum part as a psychic's understanding husband on the hit series Medium boosted his visibility.
