He is best known for his roles in the films ''The Little Vampire'' (2000) and ''The Thief Lord'' (2006).
==Early life== Weeks was born in Chichester, England, the son of Welsh parents Robin and Susan Weeks, and the younger brother of actresses Honeysuckle Weeks and Perdita Weeks. He attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School and Stowe School.
==Career== Weeks' first screen appearance was, according to his sister Honeysuckle, who told the story when appearing on ''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson'' in 2014, for a Devon Custard advertisement, aged 6, which ended abruptly when Rollo was sick whilst eating the sponsors product. Weeks' debut film, as a child actor, was playing vampire Rudolph Sackville-Bagg in ''The Little Vampire'' (2000), directed by Uli Edel, which earned Weeks a Young Artist Award nomination. He also appeared in Stephen Poliakoff's ''The Lost Prince'' (filmed 2002, released 2003) as the young George, Duke of Kent, in a film about the disabled Prince John. This was followed by roles in ''Girl With a Pearl Earring'' (2003) and ''The Queen of Sheba's Pearls'' (2004).
His second turn as a title character came as Scipio in ''The Thief Lord'' (2006), a movie based on Cornelia Funke's novel ''The Thief Lord'' and directed by Richard Claus. Weeks has also appeared in two television shows: ''Berkeley Square'' (1998) as Lord Louis Wilton and ''Goggle Eyes'' (1993) as Joseph. In 2009 he appeared in the second part of the ''Shark Week'' special ''Blood in the Water'' and played the character Guido in ''Chéri''. In 2010, he played Jacob in ''Booked Out'', about the lives of characters within an aging block of flats.
In 2016, Weeks was reported to be one of "a dynamic trio of young hospitality industry insiders" opening a new fast food outlet called Fancy Funkin Chicken in Coldharbour Lane, Brixton.<ref>{{cite news |first=Mike |last=Urban |url=http://www.brixtonbuzz.com/2016/08/fancy-funkin-chicken-takes-over-the-old-phoenix-cafe-on-coldharbour-lane-brixton/ |title=Fancy Funkin Chicken takes over the old Phoenix cafe on Coldharbour Lane, Brixton |date=25 August 2016 |work=Brixton Buzz |access-date=1 October 2017}}</ref> The restaurant closed permanently in 2020.{{cn|date=August 2022}}
