David Arquette

Born: 8th September, 1971
Where: Winchester, Virginia

David Arquette is one of the most versatile actors working today, able to move easily between comedy and drama.

A rising leading man, he is a fourth-generation performer in the family along with his acting siblings Rosanna, Patricia, Richmond and Alexis.

He broke into acting at the dawn of the 1990s and has worked continuously ever since, portraying rebellious teens initially and heroic leads after that.

Dark-haired and attractive, David began his acting career while still in high school when he was cast as Two-Bit (originally created by Emilio Estevez in the film) in the short-lived 1990 TV series The Outsiders.

Almost immediately after that, the actor landed the role of the airhead teen father Todd (originated by Keanu Reeves in the feature) in the small screen adaptation of Parenthood.

On the big screen, however, this quirky performer found his forte and David first garnered notice as one of the homeless teenagers trying to survive in Where the Day Takes You.

After a second go at trying to stop a killer in Scream 2, David lent his fine comic timing to the role of an ambitious salesman who comes to believe his boss may be a murderer in The Alarmist/Life During Wartime.

David is married to Friends star and Scream co-star Courteney Cox.
