David Arquette is a versatile American actor, film producer, director, screenwriter, fashion designer, and professional wrestler. Born in 1971 in Virginia, he hails from a family deeply rooted in the entertainment industry. His mother, Brenda Olivia, was Jewish, and his father, Lewis Arquette, converted to Islam. Raised in a creatively rich environment, David pursued a career in acting from an early age.
Arquette began his acting career in the early 1990s and gained widespread fame for his role as Dewey Riley in the blockbuster horror franchise Scream. The success of the original Scream film in 1996 firmly established him as a prominent figure in Hollywood. That same year, during the filming of Scream, he met actress Courteney Cox, who would later become his wife.
David Arquette and Courteney Cox married in 1999 after meeting on the set of Scream. Their marriage garnered significant media attention as both were prominent actors, with Cox also starring in the hit television show Friends. In 2004, the couple welcomed their daughter, Coco Arquette.
After 11 years of marriage, the pair chose to separate amicably. Cox later began a relationship with musician Johnny McDaid, expressing continued affection and respect for David despite their separation. David filed for divorce two years after their separation, and the divorce was finalized in 2013.
In 2000, Arquette made headlines by entering professional wrestling and became a one-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion—an achievement that remains a unique chapter of his career. Despite the controversy surrounding this move, Arquette embraced the experience and later used it as material for further endeavors in sports entertainment.
Arquette has also engaged in several creative projects outside of acting and wrestling. In 2007, he wrote and published a horror comic book titled The Tripper. He also ventured into the fashion industry by running a clothing line collection and contributed to the Scream 3 soundtrack. Additionally, he briefly explored music collaborations, including work with a rock and hip-hop band and involvement with the Washington-based collective Red Museum, recording an album titled Post Empire in 2011.
