- Weathers left a strong impression and built substantial goodwill through memorable supporting roles rather than as a leading man. His intelligence and charisma allowed him to excel as both a hero and a villain.

- In Predator and other action films, Weathers stood out with an athletic build and physicality equal to stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
- Later acting projects showed Weathers' versatility, including comedic work like Arrested Development.
- As Greef Karga on The Mandalorian, Weathers demonstrated new depths of emotion and helped anchor the show's moral core. His directing also led to acclaimed episodes.
