Mark Webber

Webber began acting professionally in 1997 and placed a strong emphasis, throughout his career, on small, offbeat indie productions - again, honing in almost exclusively on intense characterizations that presented great multileveled challenges. Key projects included the efforts The Laramie Project (2001) (as one of gay adolescent Matthew Shepard's killers), Ethan Hawke's directorial outing Chelsea Walls (2001) (as a lovestruck drifter in the legendary Hotel Chelsea); the Woody Allen comedy Hollywood Ending (2002) (as Woody's son), and, on an impressive but overlooked note, Pete Winters, the academically-struggling younger son of a widower father, in Josh Sternfeld's stunning debut drama Winter Solstice (2004). He was also memorable, in a crucial but extremely brief appearance, as a young boy misread by a loner (Bill Murray) as the man's son, in Jim Jarmusch's super-low key, critically-acclaimed drama Broken Flowers (2005). In 2007, Webber starred opposite Marianna Palka and Jason Ritter in the acerbic sex comedy Good Dick. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
