Peter Weller

Peter Weller is an American actor who played the lead in Paul Verhoeven’s Robocop, a part initially intended for Rutger Hauer.

However, it was the lithe Weller who got the part, he was previously known for playing the lead in 1984 science fiction oddity The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Weller prepared formidably for the role, spending four months in training with the New York mime artist Moni Yakim to perfect Robocop’s movements.
