David Arquette Biography
Born: September 08, 1971
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 Marx, Rovi
