What Happened To The Cast Of Weird Science?

If Lee Tergesen looks a bit familiar, it's probably because he's become an incredibly prolific character actor since his days on Weird Science. One of his first major roles after the series ended was as Tobias Beecher on the seminal HBO prison serial Oz, appearing in all 56 episodes. He used that plum gig as a springboard to dozens of television appearances, from one-off guest spots to recurring roles. He's popped up as a guest star on such wildly varied series as ER, The 4400, Rescue Me, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Criminal Minds, The Following, and Hawaii Five-O, to name a few. He's also landed recurring roles on shows like Desperate Housewives, Generation Kill, Army Wives, The Big C, The Americans, Longmire, and The Purge.

Tergesen has landed his share of feature film work, as well. His first few appearances came pre-Weird Science in flicks like Point Break and Wayne's World 2. After the show's run, he appeared in Shaft, Monster, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, among others. Most recently, you might have caught him in a pair of scintillating HBO miniseries: as Mister Shadow on Watchmen and as Agent McCorkle in The Plot Against America.
