The Most Unofficial MTW webpage


About myself: I am a fan of The Pretender and especially MTW. I got to meet the actor who plays Broots at the Nantucket Film Festival 2001 where he was appearing in his latest independent film production. I am very supportive of MTW and his acting career. This page needs to be way updated. The latest news is The Pretender had a new movie out on TNT cable network that aired in November 2001. Another movie is in the works. MTW is doing some voice over work and has been heard on The History Channel and also on a cartoon on Tarzan on United States cable. I am going to post an address where fans can write fanmail to MTW and also for autographs.
Michael T. Weiss plays Jarod Russell on The Pretender. Now in syndication on TNT cable station. Another fan said it is on her local WB station week days. Pretender movies of the original cast will be made and shown on TNT from time to time. The fans kept the show alive after it was cancelled by NBC in the Fall of 2000.
Jarod is one hot little number. Love the bedroom eyes. MTW's character on the Pretender is so male, so brilliant, so strong, yet so vulnerable. The show is very interesting and fun. An episode I recommend you don't miss is "Gigolo Jarod". There have also been some cross over shows with NBC's Profiler.

Five Reasons to be enthralled with Michael T. Weiss:

  • He is a great example of a male homo sapien.
  • He is a talented actor of screen and stage.
  • He is an environmentalist/vegetarian, and obviously highly intelligent.
  • He has the unbelievable 6 planets in Aquarius. Strange and wondrous indeed.
  • If you have a pulse, you could say he is attractive/handsome/sexy.
  • Here is MTW as the character Jarod, from the first season of The Pretender. Genius and on the run. Click image for enlarged view.
    Here is MTW in the movie Jeffrey. This video is going out of print soon so if you see a copy pick it up it is worth being in your video collection!
    MTW and his new electric car. He says it's a great date magnet. Yuh, as if he needs a CAR to get chicks!

    A story about MTW and my inability to watch a movie he is in

    One day Deirdre and I were at Blockbuster Video in town trying to scope out a good Dylan McDermott movie or a good Lethal Weapon 3 with Mel but NOOOOO... someone had taken them out. So Deirdre said "Jeffrey" was good. Ok, so we watched it. MTW plays a gay man in this adaptation of an off-Broadway play. He has multiple tight clothes and bare chest scenes. He is alternately tough, tender, sexy/hot, and vulnerable. I got so excited I started jumping up and down waving my hands in the air and we replayed scenes over so much Deirdre complained we were losing the continuity of the movie. to which I replied Who cares? Rent this video if you want to see MTW. It is a good movie. I give it 5 drools. Recently I purchased the movie poster, so I will photograph and scan it this month.

    Click on Larry to get a clip from the movie.
  • Freeway-- MTW plays Larry, a blond white trash drug-addict excon on parole in the beginning of this movie. I must say I thought him very good as such a loser guy but his buff bod and shiny white teeth just did not make a believable character. He is covered in tattoos and has a goofball laugh. He is sleazing on his stepdaughter and letting his old lady whore for money outside the fleabag motel they inhabit. It was a gritty LA movie with a tough female young lead. MTW's character unfortunately gets carted off to jail very early on. Lots of gratuitous violence, language. I give it 3 drools. And it serves Kiefer Sutherland right to get his character's shot and disfigured after stealing Julia Roberts away from Dylan McDermott.

    MTW as Dr. Michael Horton, on Days of Our Lives, from Soap Opera Digest long ago.

    MTW Astrology


    MTW was born February 2, 1962. He grew up in Chicago area. His middle initial stands for "Terry". And as far as anyone knows he is SINGLE. He is rumored to have been married briefly when he was 18. We hear his parents don't always approve of his choice of women. He recently purchased an electric RAV4 SUV. He said it is a date magnet. As IF he needs a car to get chicks. Give me a break. Pic of MTW and car to come. Two psychics have independent of each other predicted he will meet his end in a scuba diving incident. MTW is very shy and tends to not like to be approached in public for autographs or photos with fans. This is independently verified by fans in NYC who saw him, approached him and he said "Are you on vacation?" and they said "Yes" and he said "Well so am I" which led them to believe he wanted them to leave him alone.
    Sun 12 Aquarius, Moon 10 Capricorn, North Node 18 Leo, Mercury 20 Aquarius, Venus 14 Aquarius, Mars 0 Aquarius, Jupiter 17 Aquarius, Saturn 3 Aquarius, Uranus 29 Leo, Neptune 13 Scorpio, Pluto 9 Virgo.
    With a cluster in Aquarius I would say he is likely to be highly unusual, magnetic in personality, a humanitarian, slightly otherworldly. Can be detached from his emotions to protect himself. Very intellectual, a thinker (ladies).
    Transits: Sun conjunct Jupiter, Sun Square Neptune, Mercury conjunct Jupiter, Mars conjunct Saturn, Mercury conjunct venus, Venus conjunct Jupiter, Venus Square Neptune.

    A message to other web page makers of MTW sites. Please do not just appropriate other people's pics that they have posted. The photo has to be gotten by the person, then scanned and edited then put in html into the site. It's a lot of work. If you just come by and steal it using your browser to put up on your site it minimizes the work done by that person. Please consider linking your site to their site. To just recreate someone's work is a waste of time and bandwidth. If you think the pic is just too great there is no harm done but to take every single pic and just put it on your site without attributing the source is not going to make you any friends. Nuff said.

    What people are emailing me about MTW... He has fans all over the world thanks to the syndication of The Pretender.

    To say he is gorgeous does not do him justice. He is walking perfection. Sensitive, playful, intelligent, shy, tall, handsome, and love those dimples when he smiles. I think you get the picture! Like you I am crazy about the show, but I would love to see him smile more. P.S. I love your web pages. I love your website! Michael is extraordinary! Not only is he gorgeous, judging from his interviews he is also intelligent, adventuresome, has a great sense of humor ,is just a little bit shy, a gentleman, and is very gracious. I could use a few thousand other adjectives to describe him, but I'm sure you know them already. In one of the letters on your site someone mentioned that in a photo he appeared to have on a wedding ring, which one? According to an old soap opera magazine he was married and divorced young. He has been single for a long time (an aquarius trait). I must admit I would be disappointed to hear he is married, but either way I hope he is very happy. Sheila_Ironic

    Thanks...I enjoyed your website very much..espcially the wav's..........Jerre

    HOT is an understatement. This guy looks sexy no matter what he does. Jeffrey was one of the best films I have seen in ages. So believable, so vulnerable and just sooo good to look at. Here in Australia, we get a bit behind the latest stuff and it is so frustrating. Great websites like this, help keep me sane. Keep it up! Thanks.--Dianne

    Hot?? This guy is beyond hot and into the realm of genetically perfect. ;-) --wirra

    i am claudia, from switzerland, lugano, and it was my very first message...we are still seeing the second season of pretender..... we have to wait still a little bit .... I think i will buy the t-shirt of mtw right now, thanks for the information!!!! next holidays i will go to L.A, in a few months. of course i will not see our myth (what a shame, in any way!) but will be certainly great, wonderful, magic....what else can i say? ... that i have some pictures of him in my office; now i 'm looking for a screensaver.....i like your website, it's really very nice, and i hope "to hear" about you and the hottest man in the world soon.thanks also for the sound files. i like a lot the second season of Pretender; it's a little bit different (I also like his new haircut), but i want to see the third!!!!! ciao. claudia

    I keep forgetting to tel l you that I really like your website and you do a wonderful job of promoting Michael and the Pretender program, I think thats great cause you are there everyday promoting..Carm

    I would never invade MTW's privacy. He is very private and a big kid!! I admire him tremendously not only as an actor but the way he lives his life..that is one of the reasons I am doing this ..I really respect this person..I have grown kids of my own ...see you!!--Carm

    Didn't you have a MTW site that you decided to abandon because there were so many others? You are so funny and so Virgo, I haven't even noticed MTW's eye thing. Will watch for it on the next episode. I am so unobservant! You and your friend's idea about a "pretender" girlfriend for Jarod is outstanding. You guys should be writing for the show. Yes, the writing has been deteriorating since the first season. I just don't want to turn on the news on day and see, "Today at Michael T. Weiss's home a woman named Erika was found napping in his clothes on his bed." (heehee)--MJ

    They need to either get him and Ms. Parker together, which would make the most sense. They could meet and she could protect him from being captured. Their history certainly would explain it, and they do have chemistry. Loved you comments about the most recent episode. (heehee). MJ

    I was wondering if you could help me out here... I once found a site with a FULL descriptions (meaning "manuscripts" maybe???) of the second season episodes... Of The Pretender, of course. Now, I am searching for the third season espisodes, since missing a few was beyond my control...Please? Help? Thanks and hope to hear from you soon! Great web site by the way! Salam, Montreal Canada

    I've watched The Pretender since Day 1, though I only started to catalog the episodes in the middle of the season. But I didn't miss any episodes this season, so I've not been watching anyway since the season finale. --Steve M

    Hi!Iīm a 21-year-old French girl who is dreaming to just run away with Jarod, by the way, did you see "Highway"? He was playing Reese Witherspoonīs father in law, a guy who is always drunk or didn, he didnīt look good but it was so great to see him as a nasty guy for a change! --Marie D, France

    HOT hot isnt the word for this man not only does he have "Bedroom eyes" he is so perfect its scarry.His face his body he the most perfectly beautiful man alive now.So I guess that makes me a fan . --Am43nsweet

    Hello Erika! You are right, I was talking about Michael T. Weiss, the hottest man I ever see in any film. Heīs really adorable, sexy and so much beautyful, my temperature is climbing just by thinking about this piece of art on legs... Hey, and not to forget, heīs a really great actor! So, you want to know if there are >MEN< where I am living? You are joking, Iīm living in Germany! To find a virile man in this country is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. So I >imported< my husband from North-India, a tall, browneyed creamcake...*mmmhhh*...I could never find someone like him in Germany, no chance! Heīs the only one whoīs much beautyful than MTW... ;-) Every Tuesday evening Iīm a real happy woman: A beautyful man in my arm and MTW on TV, thatīs heaven on earth *sigh*. Oh, perhaps you can help me! From long time I try to get the complete 1st and 2nd season of the Pretender from USA on Videotape, so I can enjoy the original dialogues and voices. You have NO idea, how much they destroy with dubbing in german language, they donīt translate careful enough, the speakers are without any emotions, like they are uninterested in the characters, itīs a disaster! PLEASE TELL ME, if you know any person who could make good copies (price should be no problem), this would make me very happy! Have a nice time, --Chris

    Thanks for writing. No I haven't talked to Mare about this, I just figured if he was wearing a wedding ring in the photo it was a good possiblity, there isn't very much personal info out there about him. I don't suppose you would be so kind as to tell me the address where he lives in LA? I would really like to cruise by there myself when I visit there in the new year. Just a sight seeing thing I guess, I haven't really been out of Canada before and I would get a kick out of it. Too bad Jarod isn't a real man, I could really love a guy like that. However, Michael is a good man too from what I can tell, he is the kind of person I wish I knew more of, not because he is a gorgeous hunk of an actor, but just because he is the kind of guy you would like to know. So anyhow, maybe we will chat again sometime, I had better get done here because I rented a movie. Oh yeah, BTW, I did like Jeffrey a lot, the acting was incredible from Michael and Patrick Stewart. Later, Tiffanie

    Yeah, this man IS hotter than hell! When I saw him first time, I forgot in the same moment ALL my favourite actors like Mel Gibson and co. and turned into a real fan of a real MAN! --Chris

    I am drawn to Michael T. Weiss because of everything about him!!!! I do think he is married though, if you take a look at the photo (in the gallery) they have there, it looks like he is wearing a wedding ring. I am not really lusting after him, he is just someone I wish I knew. Well ok I am lusting a bit... Tiffanie

    They need some love scene for Jerod though don't you think. God he's a good kisser. Remember last season when he finally got to get some sex (yippee). Later, MJ

    Isn't the Pretender good this season. Have really enjoyed the first two episodes. Yes, he is just too cute, god. --MJ

    Did you see Michael T. Weiss on Howie? He was wearing all black and looked real good! --Michele S.

    Oh yeah. I can see MTW wanting a strong woman. I know Dean does. Well if Dean can get better looking with age, so can MTW. --Dee

    I like Miss Parker. I love her attitude. --Burt at Geocities.

    I've NEVER seen a chart with that much Aquarian energy! When I first looked at Michael's chart and saw all those planets in the first house, including his sun, my first reaction was that he spends a lot of time talking and mostly thinking about himself. I call the first house the "Me Me Me Me Me house." Everyone I've ever known with that many planets in that house are concerned with themselves and what others think about them. They never tire of talking about themselves. My next favorite thing to look at in someone's chart is where Saturn is. For me, Saturn represents our shadow side and what all our dramas and crisis will revolve around in this life. Michael's is in Aquarius, so I interpret that he will have major dramas around friends and acquaintances, but also his hopes and dreams, and being in the 12th house, struggles with the need for privacy and seclusion yet yearning to be in a group. All the while analyzing it into the ground. He is definitely in his head alot and finds it easy to detach when threatened in I don't sense perversion in Michael's chart (heehee). I have been interested in astrology for about 25 years. I have zillions of books on it and originally started reading it and playing with it to disprove it. I converted myself. Since I am a total dunce in math I was so happy when Astrological software came out. I use one of the professional astrology programs and it is very good. I am able to edit the readings and enter my own personal interpretations, which I do on occasion.--MJ

    I LOVE the Pretender. Haven't missed an episode. Miss Parker Rocks! Yes MW is a babe. I've completed his chart and will be uploading it soon. --MJ

    Absolutely -- Owena

    Honey, You don't have to be a heterosexual woman to think that he is one of the hottest men on television. --Damien [***E Note: point taken, I made the change on my comments]

    Hi, In fact MTW is not just Hot, is the sexiest and the hottest man than I have ever seen. I think I felt in love with him. He's so cute, cute, cute!!!!! ---Sebi, France
