Arquette was born on a Subud commune in Bentonville, Virginia, the youngest of five, all of whom became actors, including his older sisters Creator/{{Rosanna|Arquette}} and Creator/{{Patricia|Arquette}}. His own acting career began in the 1990s, during which time he appeared in a number of movies and had guest spots in several television shows before getting catapulted into stardom via the ''Film/{{Scream}}'' franchise. He's generally known for playing goofy, comedic characters, even when he's playing a psycho.

* PromotedFanboy: [[GoneHorriblyRight In the worst way]] -- literally. As a longtime fan of professional wrestling, Arquette was thrilled to work with the Wrestling/{{WCW}} to promote ''Film/ReadyToRumble'' right up until he learned that as part of the promotion he was going to be given the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and defend it on the main event of a pay-per-view event, despite the fact that he wasn't ''actually'' a wrestler. He went through it out of contractual obligations, even though he knew the fans would hate it, and donated every cent to the families of injured and deceased wrestlers. Beginning in 2018, he would resurface again in the wrestling world, doing appearances for various organizations. It's clear that he's having fun with it, and this time around, fan response has been much more positive. He even made headlines after getting a severe cut ''on his neck'' during a deathmatch against Nick Gage (Gage being a hardcore wrestling veteran who's been doing stuff like deathmatches for far longer).
* RedemptionQuest: Seems to take his return to the ring as this, as interviews have him mentioning how people mock his WCW stint and how it was a black mark on something he loved. So he began training and performing in matches with various (mostly indie) organizations, including a deathmatch against hardcore wrestling veteran Nick Gage in which he suffered a severe cut ''on his neck''.
