Among his better-known films are Manic (2001), Weather Girl (2009), 6 Month Rule (2011), and Cut to the Chase (2016). He has also been the voice of Peter Pan since the 2002 film Return to Never Land. Many of his movies are filmed in the Shreveport area, with several involving Shenandoah's film department to employ cast and crew.

Early life Weaver was born in Bossier City, Louisiana on April 9, 1976. From age five, Weaver acted in local plays with the Peter Pan Players in Shreveport, and later with Centenary College of Louisiana and River City Repertory Theatre. He was performing in "three shows a year" until he was fifteen, when he began traveling to Dallas to audition for larger roles. After graduating from Parkway High School, he lived in New York City for six months before relocating to Los Angeles.

Career In the 1990s, Weaver's career was mostly in television. He appeared in the made-for-TV films The Flood: Who Will Save Our Children? (1993) and The Good Old Boys (1995), followed by several bit roles on shows including ER, JAG, and Chicago Hope. In 2001, he became the new voice of Peter Pan. He has since appeared in shows such as House of Mouse and has done recordings for the Disney theme parks, including for Mickey's PhilharMagic (2003). He also provided the voice for Pan in Disney Infinity 3.0 and for Peter Pan Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom.

In 2001, Weaver co-wrote the film Manic, which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival. In 2004, he formed Secret Identity Productions (SIP) with childhood friend Brandon Barrera. Later that year, they released the short film Losing Lois Lane, which Weaver directed, wrote, and starred in. The film was popular online and was Weaver's directorial debut. Weaver also wrote, directed and starred in SIP's first feature film, Outside Sales, which won awards on the film festival circuit and was later released on DVD. SIP's next feature, Weather Girl, premiered at Slamdance Film Festival and had an ensemble cast of Tricia O'Kelley, Mark Harmon, Jon Cryer, and Jane Lynch. Like SIP's other films, Weaver wrote, directed, and acted in the movie. It was released on Lifetime TV in October 2009 and on DVD following a festival run. It won an award in the category Screenplay: Narrative Feature at the 2009 DeadCENTER Film Festival.

Weaver's next major film was 6 Month Rule in 2011. It starred Martin Starr, Jaime Pressly, John Michael Higgins, and Natalie Morales and won best feature film and best actor (Weaver) at the 2012 Hill Country Film Festival. He had his stage directorial debut in 2015 with the River City Repertory Theatre's production of True West. This was followed by another feature film, Cut to the Chase (2016), which Weaver wrote, directed, and starred in. The film follows an ex-con that sets out in search of his kidnapped sister through the criminal underbelly of Shreveport, Louisiana. This garnered a number of award wins, including best director of a feature and best actor (Weaver) in a feature at the Northeast Film Festival and best director at Hill Country Film Festival. In 2017, he played Black Stache in Peter and the Starcatcher at Stage Center in Shreveport. The company gave him a "Diva" Performance Award.

Weaver's role in Michael Howard's Where We're Meant to Be earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Eastern North Carolina Film Festival. His next film, Santa Girl (2019), was released through Netflix and premiered at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Winchester, Virginia. This was one of several films shot in collaboration with Shenandoah University's film department. Also in 2019, he became Shenandoah's first Director in Residence, and later signed on as an adjunct professor of film studies. Other movies filmed with Shenandoah include GetAWAY (2020), Cupid for Christmas (2021), and Miss Valentine (2024). GetAWAY premiered at the DeadCENTER Film Festival in 2020.
