Webster is the son of Roswitha, a hair stylist, and John ("Jack") Webster, a police officer.[2] [6] As a teenager, his behaviour often got him into trouble.[2] To find a more productive outlet, he started studying martial arts and eventually became a teacher of this,[2] earning an undefeated record as an amateur kickboxer and heavyweight black belt.

Since Mutant X, Webster has continued to alternate between television and theatrical film roles. In 2006 he appeared in the final episodes of Charmed, portraying Coop, a cupid who married Phoebe Halliwell (played by Alyssa Milano) in the final episode of the series.
In 2009, Webster had a recurring role as Caleb Brewer on the Melrose Place relaunch. He appeared on the season 5 episode "Parasite" of Criminal Minds playing a con artist-turned-serial killer.
