Michael Weston (born October 25, 1973) is an American television and film actor. He is known for his role as Jake in the critically acclaimed HBO drama Six Feet Under.

Weston was born Michael Rubinstein in New York City, the son of actors Judi West and John Rubinstein, and the grandson of piano virtuoso Arthur Rubinstein.[1] He holds a degree in Theater and Arts from Northwestern University. In 2000, he changed his surname to "Weston" as there was already a "Michael Rubinstein" in the Screen Actors Guild.

Weston is a good friend of actor Zach Braff, and has appeared in numerous features with him, including Garden State, The Last Kiss and Braff's television show, Scrubs, as a guest star. Weston has also recently appeared as Simon Marsden, Olivia Benson's half-brother on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Weston is currently in talks to appear in a multi-episode arc on House, with the possibility of a spin-off based on his character.
