On television, Weller starred with Molly Ringwald, Elizabeth McGovern, Beau Bridges, Melanie Griffith and James Woods in David Brown's much heralded HBO special Tales of Seduction – three great American short stories adapted for the screen; Weller was featured in the Dorothy Parker segment of the trilogy, Dusk Before Fireworks, directed by Ken Russell.
Weller's film starring credits include: Richard Lester's Butch and Sundance: The Early Years, Sidney Lumet's Just Tell Me What You Want, Alan Parker's Shoot The Moon with Diane Keaton and Albert Finney, George Cosmatos' Of Unknown Origin (for which Weller won the Best Actor award from the International Film Festival of Paris), the title role in the now classic Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Michael Apted's Firstborn, Abel Ferrara's film of Elmore Leonard's Cat Chaser, Shakedown with Sam Elliot, 50/50 with Robert Hayes, directed by Charles Martin Smith. Weller created the amazing metal man in the original Robocop.
Weller was nominated for the Canadian Oscar for his performance as William Lee in David Cronenberg's film of the William Burrough's literary classic Naked Lunch, also starring Judy Davis. He also starred in the Addis/Wechsler production of Michael Tolkin's The New Age, again opposite Judy Davis, and executive produced by Oliver Stone.
