Biography
Weaver was born in Los Angeles, California, to Charles Lee and Gladys Wong. He and his siblings were given the last name Levy, which was apparently an Anglicization of their father's given surname.[3] He reported that he often had trouble cashing checks because people did not believe his last name could be Levy.[4] While working as an actor, he also owned an electronics store in North Hollywood, California.[5] He died on February 8, 2018.[6]
