About David Arquette
Up until 2013, he gained notoriety and Courteney Cox’s love with his performance in Scream, but since then, he has largely switched from performing to producing. It’s unlikely that any of David Arquette’s endeavors have been wildly successful, but there aren’t many areas in which he hasn’t experimented.
The majority of people only know him from his work as an actor, yet he has a diverse resume that includes anything from fashion design (Propr Collection with singer Ben Harper) to professional wrestling.
A Starry Family
It’s hardly shocking that David James Arquette chose to work in the entertainment industry. He was born to actress parents, and all four of his siblings—Alexis, Richmond, Patricia, and Rosanna—went on to pursue acting careers. His family moved about while he was a child, living in Chicago, Virginia, and finally Los Angeles, where all of the children could pursue their talents.
Slashing Into The Biz (And Courteney’s Heart)
David was offered a role in The Outsiders in 1990, but the show was canceled after 13 episodes. Other television parts followed after that one, but they all suffered the same fates. He was somewhat successful in movies like 1992’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 1994’s Airheads, but he didn’t really break out until the 1996 thriller Scream.
He found Courteney Cox, who played the clumsy Deputy Dewey in Wes Craven’s hugely successful horror film, and his future wife. They had become a committed pair by the time the group came back together to film the 1997 follow-up. On June 12, 1999, they were married in San Francisco in front of 250 celebrity guests.
He received some notoriety from his relationship and marriage to Cox, a great star thanks to Friends, but his film career never really took off. Never Been Kissed, which co-starred Drew Barrymore in 1999, was moderately successful, while Ready to Rumble and 3000 Miles to Graceland did poorly.
In The Rising
However, World Championship Wrestling’s Ready to Rumble ignited an unexpected turn in his career. He initially appeared in professional wrestling tales as comic relief, but he eventually entered the ring and won the WCW heavyweight championship in 2000. He kept the position for two weeks.
Changing Course
He made an unexpectedly successful transition into serious movies in 2001 when he starred in the Holocaust epic The Grey Zone. The movie impressed critics while not receiving widespread praise. But it didn’t start Arquette’s career off on the right foot; his subsequent movies, including his directing debut, the slasher film The Tripper, were failures.
He founded a production business called Cox, Coquette in 2003. Courteney was the star of the shows Dirt and Cougar Town, which were produced by Cox, Coquette. Both romantically and professionally, the couple was the model of a Hollywood union, but they shocked fans by announcing their split in October 2010 after 11 years of marriage. Coco, their only child, was born in 2004.
Arquette has been insistent that he is still in love with Courtney and hopes to work things out, regardless of whether this trial separation leads to divorce or not. The post-divorce sequel to the franchise that brought them together, Scream 4, at least shows that they are still a team.
