Early life
Weinberg was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, on August 1, 1972, to Mimi and Moshe Weinberg. His father was the head coach of Israel and Tel Aviv's international wrestling team, and he had previously been the Israeli youth wrestling champion and had also competed for 8 years as the Israeli adult wrestling champion. Weinberg, a one-month old man who served as Israel's national wrestling coach and as part of the 1972 Summer Olympics team, travelled to Munich, where he was killed alongside another ten team members in a terrorist attack carried by the Palestinian terrorist group Black September in the Munich massacre.
Mimi Weinberg's mother Mimi immigrated with her son in 1986 to the United States of America, settling in Los Angeles, California, following her husband's death. Weinberg attended Beverly Hills High School.
Personal life
Moshe Weinberg's father was killed in the Munich massacre by the Palestinian terrorist group Black September at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, when Weinberg was one month old. Due to his work as the national wrestling coach, his father was attending the Olympics as part of the Israeli wrestling team. "I was furious with him for many years, and I bet that if he hadn't tried to combat them, maybe I would have had a father," Weinberg said in a chat. He cites his father's screaming against his terrorist captors, which resulted in them shooting him and leaving his body in the street when other team members were captured. In Steven Spielberg's 2005 film Munich, he played his father Moshe and wrote about his book Vengeance by George Jonas, as well as on the memoir Vengeance by George Jonas. Despite her son's appearance in the film, Weinberg's mother Mimi has expressed her disappointment with Spielberg's depiction of the events and people concerned, saying, "[doesn't] want people to see it, even if [her] son is in it."
In 1997, Weinberg married fellow American film and television actress Tammy Lauren. There are no children together in the family's household.
