Weaver was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He became a disc jockey at age 15 and is sometimes known as Beauregard Rodriquez Weaver.

In the 1970s and 1980s, he was on the air at several pop music stations, including KHJ in Los Angeles, KFRC in San Francisco, KILT in Houston, KCBQ in San Diego, KNUS in Dallas, and KAKC in Tulsa.

Weaver has done work with Disney, promoting their video releases in the late 1990s working alongside fellow Disney voice-overs Mark Elliott and Brian Cummings.

Weaver's television roles include Superman in the 1989 Ruby-Spears production of Superman, a revival of the series timed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the character. He later voiced Mister Fantastic in Marvel's Fantastic Four animated series, a role he reprised in the 1996 series The Incredible Hulk.
