Early career
Weston was born in London and educated at Alleyn's School, Dulwich, during the time that Michael Croft, the National Youth Theatre (NYT) was active there. When Croft's Henry IV, Part 2 was revived as a NYT production at the Toynbee Hall Theatre the following year, the national press was drawn to it. In its praise of the play's comedies, Weston played Falstaff, a character singled out by The Times.
Weston appeared in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar at the Queen's Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, in August 1960. This was only the second appearance by the NYT in London's West End, with Croft directing and dressed in contemporary style. Caesar, Neil Stacy Brutus, and Alan Allkins Cassius were all played by John Shrapnel. The play was rated as a "new beginning" by the theatre critic of The Times; Weston's appearance was said to have successfully captured an opportunist spirit that was otherwise obscured by a rough charm.
In a double bill borne by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in Bloomsbury in February 1961, the Times was more muted in its praise of the Electra and Oedipus Rex of Sophocles. In Oedipus Rex, Weston played Creon; his bluff appearance was described as largely supportive.
In a production for schools of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Jane Asher played Juliet, his first television appearance was as Romeo;
In the 1981 season of Doctor Who, Weston appeared in the time-sensitive Biroc's pivotal role.
