Peter Weller

Peter Weller plays Christopher Henderson on 24. Due to his role in RoboCop, fans use that as a nickname.

He was credited with the "and" credit (during his first episode it read "and Peter Weller as Christopher Henderson") at the end of the Guest Star list, the fourth person to do so, after Dennis Hopper as Victor Drazen in Season 1, Sarah Clarke as Nina Myers in Season 2 and Season 3, and Shohreh Aghdashloo as Dina Araz in Season 4.

Biography
Weller's father was a helicopter pilot for the Army, which meant that he spent many years abroad. His family lived in Germany for several years, before eventually moving to Texas. While enrolled at North Texas State University, he played trumpet in one of the campus bands. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, and began his acting career after graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Although he has appeared in over fifty films and television series, he is best known for his appearances as the title character in the cult classic The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, and the blockbuster hits RoboCop and RoboCop 2. He has also appeared in critically acclaimed movies such as Mighty Aphrodite and Naked Lunch and in the short-lived TV show Odyssey 5. He has made a guest appearance in the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "Demons" and "Terra Prime". In recent years he seems to favor directing over acting, helming two episodes of Homicide: Life on the Street and three episodes of the aforementioned Odyssey 5

Weller also holds a Masters Degree in Roman and Renaissance Art, and is an occasional lecturer at Syracuse University on the subject of Hollywood and the Roman Empire. He was a featured commenter on the History Channel's documentary, Rome: Engineering an Empire, which debuted September 5, 2005.
