Canadian actor Will Arnett was born in 1970 in Toronto, Ontario. Will has appeared on the television shows "Sex in The City," " Will & Grace," "The Sopranos," "Yes, Dear" and "Third Watch." Will is most famous for his dynamic role of George Oscar Bluth II in the classic but cancelled hit comedy series "Arrested Development." He has also starred in the motion pictures "RV," "Monster In-Law" and "Ice Age: The Meltdown." Will is married to "Saturday Night Live" comedian Amy Poehler.
After almost a decade of starring in failed pilots, Toronto-born Will Arnett finally hit pay dirt in 2003 when Fox picked up Arrested Development, an irreverent sitcom that cast him as a spoiled rich kid-turned-struggling illusionist. While the show struggled in ratings, it won loads of critical praise and garnered an incredibly loyal fan base that helped keep it on the air for three seasons before Fox finally gave up and pulled the plug. In the wake of Arrested Development's cancellation, Arnett quickly and smoothly transitioned into big-screen work. His first starring role came in 2006 with the comedy Let's Go to Prison! Though the film failed to find success at the box office, Arnett's momentum wasn't hampered in the least. In 2007, his film career exploded with supporting roles in Blades of Glory, Hot Rod, and Ratatouille, and a starring slot opposite Saturday Night Live's Will Forte in The Brothers Solomon. That same year also saw Arnett turning in a scene-stealing guest spot on NBC's 30 Rock and a memorable voice-over cameo in Edgar Wright's faux-trailer contribution to Grindhouse, "Don't."
