Levy executive produces Uninsured with Robinson and Alison Greenspan via Robinson’s Doug Robinson Productions. Pally also will serve as co-executive producer on the pilot.
In addition to his ongoing roles 13 Reasons Why, Get Shorty and Ballers, Weber recently did major arcs on Syfy’s drama Channel Zero and CBS’ comedy Mom. He is repped by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment.
