Michael Weston

Michael Rubinstein was born in New York City, the son of actors John Rubinstein and Judi West. His paternal grandfather was Polish-Jewish piano virtuoso Arthur Rubinstein. He is also the great-grandson of Polish conductor Emil Młynarski, the founding conductor of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and principal conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

Weston holds a degree in Theater and Arts from Northwestern University, and in 2000 he changed his surname to "Weston" as there was already a "Michael Rubinstein" in the Screen Actors Guild. Weston is a good friend and former roommate of actor Zach Braff and has appeared in several features with him; including Getting to Know You (1999), Garden State, Wish I Was Here and The Last Kiss, and in a multi-episode arc as an injured soldier on Braff's television show Scrubs. Weston has also appeared as Simon Marsden, Olivia Benson's half-brother on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Weston appeared in the fifth season of House as a private investigator named Lucas Douglas hired by Dr. Gregory House; he reappeared in season six. Series creator David Shore planned a spinoff show with Weston's character as the lead in 2008, but the show never went into production.

Weston appeared in the Gerard Butler action film Gamer in 2009. He made a guest appearance on White Collar and Burn Notice (in which the main character, Michael Westen, has a name very similar to his). In 2012, he starred in the A&E television movie Coma.

In 2016, he appeared as Harry Houdini in Houdini & Doyle.

Weston has been married to musician Priscilla Ahn since 2010.
