Charlie Weber Bio
Charles Alan Weber Jr. (born September 20, 1978) is an American actor and former model whose work spans television and film. He is best known for portraying Frank Delfino on the ABC legal drama How to Get Away with Murder, a role that established him as a familiar presence in network drama beginning in 2014.
Early Life and Background
Charles Alan Weber Jr. was born in Jefferson City, Missouri. He left college after one year and moved to New York City at age 19 to study acting at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, pursuing both performance training and modeling opportunities in the late 1990s.
While pursuing study and work in New York, Weber worked as a model and appeared in the 1998 Abercrombie & Fitch holiday catalog when the photographer Bruce Weber revitalized that publication. The combination of formal acting study and commercial modeling provided Weber with early professional experience in front of the camera and an entry path into screen work.
Path to Celebrity
Weber’s early screen work combined guest appearances on television with roles in independent film, establishing a pattern of steady work that would continue through the 2000s. His move from modeling to acting was marked by smaller on-screen parts that demonstrated range across genres, from drama to comedy and genre parody.
He secured a recurring television role early in his career, appearing as Ben on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Weber appeared in 14 episodes of that series from 2000 to 2001, a substantial early television credit that raised his profile with casting directors and audiences. That recurring work complemented credits in independent films and episodic guest roles, and signaled his growing transition from modeling into sustained acting work.
Throughout the early 2000s Weber continued to build a resume across television and direct-to-video feature films, accepting parts that ranged from dramatic portrayals to supporting roles in genre projects. This period of accumulation and varied roles laid the groundwork for later series regular casting and higher-profile film appearances.
Charlie Weber Career
Early Career (2000–2013)
Weber made his screen debut in the 2000 feature film The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy, a starting point that coincided with his recurring television role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Buffy credit, comprising 14 episodes across 2000 and 2001, constituted one of his earliest sustained television exposures and helped him secure subsequent guest appearances on network series.
During the 2000s Weber expanded his television resume with guest roles on programs such as The Drew Carey Show, Charmed, Veronica Mars, House, Burn Notice, Bones, Warehouse 13 and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. In the mid-2000s he accepted roles in direct-to-video and independent films including Gacy, The Kiss and Cruel Intentions 3. He also had a recurring role as Jay on the drama Everwood from 2003 to 2004, a series credit that further established his television credentials.
Breakthrough (2014–present)
Weber’s most prominent career milestone arrived in 2014 when he was cast as Frank Delfino in the ABC legal drama How to Get Away with Murder, produced by Shonda Rhimes. Cast as an associate to Viola Davis’s lead character, the role of Frank Delfino evolved into a series regular part and became the performance with which Weber is most closely identified. His work on the series increased his visibility in mainstream television drama and led to sustained attention from industry observers and audiences.
Prior to that breakthrough, Weber continued to appear in theatrical and genre projects, including the 2010 vampire spoof Vampires Suck, which demonstrated his willingness to work across comedic material as well as straight drama. After his breakthrough on network drama he returned to film work, appearing in the 2020 romantic sequel After We Collided as Christian Vance, the owner of Vance Publishing.
From 2014 onward Weber’s career has balanced returning to established franchises and series work with selective film roles. The Frank Delfino role remains a defining credit while his earlier and subsequent projects reflect a career built on versatility across television formats and feature films.
