Steven Robert Weber (born March 4, 1961) is an American actor. Weber was born in Briarwood, Queens, New York; his mother was a nightclub singer and his father was a nightclub performer and manager of Borscht Belt comedians. Weber graduated from Manhattan`s High School of Performing Arts (1979) and the State University of New York at Purchase. Weber started appearing in TV commercials while still in the third grade. After leaving college he became a member of the Mirror Repertory Company and appeared opposite legendary actress Geraldine Page in several productions before winning a role as Julianne Moore`s ill-tempered and ill-fated boyfriend on the CBS daytime drama As The World Turns in 1985–1986. He appeared in several motion pictures and TV mini-series, such as The Flamingo Kid, Hamburger Hill, and the acclaimed The Kennedys of Massachusetts (as the young John F. Kennedy). His most well-known role is as Brian Hackett, a skirt-chasing airplane pilot on the sitcom Wings (in sharp contrast to his critically praised performance in the television mini-series version of Stephen King`s The Shining playing the alcoholic, murderous Jack Torrance). Several years later, Weber starred in his own short-lived half-hour comedy Cursed, joined the cast of ABC`s Once and Again as the tortured artist Sam Blue, and starred the next year in the acclaimed show The D.A. once again for ABC. Weber also had a lead role in the 90`s hit movie Single White Female, in which he appeared naked.
Weber met his first wife (whom he has since divorced) Finn Carter on the set of As The World Turns while she was playing Sierra Esteban Montgomery. On July 9, 1995, he married his second wife, interior decorator and former Los Angeles Bureau chief for MTV, Juliette Hohnen. Weber and Hohnen are the parents of two sons: Jack Alexander Hohnen-Weber (born January 5, 2001) and Alfie James (born February 25, 2003).
