As a teenager, Weisman showed an interest in acting and participated in several school theater productions. His enthusiasm for the music, which he expressed with his drums, also showed early on.

In 1991 he founded Buffalo Nights Theater Company with a few other students , which quickly became famous and still produces a few shows today.

He had his first role in a television series in 1995 in Frasier .

When he guest-starred on Felicity in 2000 , he met JJ Abrams , who was creating a new series called Alias - The Agent . The role of Marshall J. Flinkman , who by the way was planned as a 40-year-old overweight man with a ponytail, was from now on his.
