In a 40-year career that spanned Broadway, television and movies, the versatile actor played everyone from sleazy villains to terrifying killers to clumsy comics. His bad-guy roles included a stalker who, along with Alan Arkin terrorized a blind Audrey Hepburn in the 1967 cult classic Wait Until Dark (1967).
He appeared in much lighter roles in Cactus Flower (1969), Please Don`t Eat the Daisies (1960), and Dirty Dancing (1987). In the latter, he ran a family resort in the Catskills that set the stage for romance between a teen-ager and dance instructor. His stage work included the Broadway hits "California Suite" in 1976 and 1981`s "The Floating Lightbulb," for which he received a Tony nomination for his role as the trashy manager. Also in 1981, Weston appeared opposite Alan Alda in _The Four Seasons_, a movie about three middle-aged couples who vacation together. He played a cantankerous dentist obsessed with his Mercedes, which ended up going through the ice into a frozen lake at the movie`s conclusion. Other film credits include Stage Struck (1958), The Cincinnati Kid (1965), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), The Ritz (1976), and Ishtar (1987).
