Peter Weller, who’s a very nice guy, also played Robocop in the first two Robocop movies.

“In 2004, Weller completed a Master’s degree in Roman and Renaissance Art at Syracuse University and occasionally teaches courses in ancient history at the university. In 2007, Weller was finishing a Ph.D. at UCLA, in Italian Renaissance art history. He expects to complete his dissertation in 2012.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Weller#Personal_life
