David Arquette Biography

Born September 8, 1971, to a family of entertainers, David Arquette is the youngest brother of actors Rosanna Arquette, Patricia Arquette, and Alexis Arquette, and the son of veteran bit-part actor Lewis Arquette. During David`s early years, the family lived on a California commune, but moved to Los Angeles so that Rosanna could pursue an acting career. David first brought his quirky, eccentric persona to the small screen in 1989, with a television adaptation of the film The Outsiders. He had his big screen debut in 1992, when he performed in a number of films, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Where the Day Takes You. Small roles in subsequent features followed, including 1994`s Airheads, but it wasn`t until his turn as a bumbling deputy in Wes Craven`s Scream (1996) that he began to receive wider recognition. The same year, his visibility was further increased by a secondary role in Beautiful Girls and his turn as a struggling prostitute in Johns.
1997 brought with it Scream`s highly successful sequel, the accurately titled Scream 2. In addition, it brought Dream With Fishes, a film that Arquette both acted in and co-produced. 1999 was a busy year for the actor, signaling that Hollywood was finding more room to accommodate his offbeat talent. In addition to his recurring spot in a series of creepy AT&T commercials, Arquette had major roles in three movies, the Drew Barrymore romantic comedy Never Been Kissed, Muppets From Space, and Antonia Bird`s much maligned Ravenous. Arquette further increased his Hollywood visibility with his marriage to Courteney Cox, whom he wed in April 1999. ~ Rebecca Flint, All Movie Guide

Quotes
  • Courteney Cox: When David Arquette and I got engaged we started therapy together. I`d heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest, so we decided to work through all that stuff early.
    OTHER (1st yr)
  • David Arquette: (defending Jennifer Aniston) Jennifer is great. When her marriage to Brad ended, it was sad. I love Brad, he`s a great guy but he did some stuff that hurt our friend. Finding out he was sleeping with Angelina was pretty much a surprise. They wouldn`t have broke up if not for that. Did I ever see Jen cry? No, never. Not one tear shed. Those magazines, they take something and it`s working for them so they play it out, but she`s not really that sad about the whole thing. She`s the greatest, she`s such a sweetheart, she`s so funny. I don`t think Jennifer hates Angelina, I don`t think it`s like that. The way they depict it is completely wrong. She`s a very strong woman, she`s totally solid and she`s just got a great attitude.
    OTHER (all about jen)

  • David Arquette: I’m not very self aware about my career. I probably should be more so. Just to be brutally honest, it’s not like I have every movie at my fingertips. I can’t get seen on a lot of pictures. So I like to take chances with first time directors and try to help with my name to put things together to help raise money for films that might not otherwise get made without me.
    OTHER (at my fingertips)
