4	William Emerson Arnett (born May 4, 1970) is a Canadian actor. Before his StarMakingRole as ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'''s G.O.B. Bluth, Arnett would audition for numerous television pilots that would fail in various ways, which was discouraging for his career. Once he had made it into TV as an acclaimed actor, however, opportunities throughout film and television opened up for him. He has a distinct gravelly voice and was originally in high demand as a television commercial voice-over artist, and has since done many voice acting performances, voicing [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie LEGO]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie Batman]] and the title character on Creator/{{Netflix}}'s ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'', one of his few dramatic roles (Arnett also served as producer for the first season and executive producer from season two on).

6	He and his ''Arrested Development'' co-star Creator/JasonBateman have a production company focusing on digital content called "[=DumbDumb=] Productions". He also served as executive producer to Creator/{{ABC}}'s 2017 summer revival of ''Series/TheGongShow'' (though not as its host; that role went to Creator/MikeMyers under the fictional persona of "Tommy Maitland").

8	He was married to Creator/PenelopeAnnMiller and Creator/AmyPoehler.

42	!!Tropes associated with his acting roles:
43	* EvilSoundsDeep: His deep voice lets him play threatening villains, like [[MorallyBankruptBanker Mr. Perkins]] in ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1'' and [[FeatheredFiend Vlad]] in ''WesternAnimation/HortonHearsAWho2008''.
44	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Apparently he was a serious contender for the next boss of Dunder Mifflin on ''Series/{{The Office\|US}}'', but due to fears that his role in ''Series/TheMillers'' would conflict with said part, he was turned down.
