Weber nailed this role and beat out some serious big deal contenders.
The actor was born in New York to a family of entertainers. Fran his mother was a singer while his dad managed a nightclub that also hosted comedians. It comes as no surprise that the High School he'd later on attend would be a performing arts school under the guise of his parents
