,640 --> 00:00:11,000

Glad to have you here.

Uh, today David Arquette, uh, an actor
who's been on the scene for a long time.
12
,640 --> 00:00:38,519
A lot of folks know him initially from his
work in the Scream franchise of movies.
13
,690 --> 00:00:40,980
Uh, he's, uh, done a lot
of TV, done a lot of film.
14
,059 --> 00:00:45,229
Comes from a very talented family going
back a couple generations, I think.
15
,230 --> 00:00:48,779
But, of course, his sisters,
uh, Rosanna, Patricia, Alexis,
16
,800 --> 00:00:50,770
very, uh, talented family.

20
,710 --> 00:01:00,470
It is with Elizabeth Shue,
Nick Jonas, Brittany Snow.
21
,520 --> 00:01:01,880

22
,049 --> 00:01:03,120
Really enjoyed the film.
23
,170 --> 00:01:06,079

David Arquette's Life in Nashville
,250 --> 00:02:14,460
So you're in Nashville, isn't Jack White
up there in Nashville, I think, uh,
48
,530 --> 00:02:16,980
David Arquette: Yeah,
Jack White is out here.
49
,989 --> 00:02:18,280
He's incredible.
50
,299 --> 00:02:20,870
So stuff he does to conserve music.
51
,889 --> 00:02:25,249
It's just his, his, his
like collection of stuff.
52
,250 --> 00:02:27,760
I just, I haven't, I've met him before.
53
,760 --> 00:02:29,770
I met him with Paul Rubens.
54
,930 --> 00:02:32,270
Dear friend who we just recently lost.
55
,380 --> 00:02:35,380
Oh, I am so envious that you had
a chance to hang with Paul Rubens.
56
,380 --> 00:02:36,320
He was the best.
57
,380 --> 00:02:37,630
Yeah, he was the best.
58
,640 --> 00:02:39,440
He turned me into a vampire.
59
,750 --> 00:02:43,809
Turned me into a vampire on,
uh, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
60
,810 --> 00:02:46,040
So we'd been friends ever since.
61
,040 --> 00:02:48,689
He was just one of my
dearest, closest friends.
62
,790 --> 00:02:50,050
Marc Preston: He seemed
like a real mensch.
63
,110 --> 00:02:50,500
Yeah.
64
,500 --> 00:02:52,340
Seemed like a real, real solid citizen.
65
,380 --> 00:02:52,470
Yeah.
66
,010 --> 00:02:54,520
But how long you been in Nashville for?
67
,520 --> 00:02:55,710
Is this a new thing for you?
68
,710 --> 00:02:56,849
Have you been out there for a while?
69
,925 --> 00:03:00,755
David Arquette: Uh, four years
we've came out here and started
70
,755 --> 00:03:03,235
a farm, a farm and a garden.
71
,245 --> 00:03:03,625
Really?
72
,965 --> 00:03:04,425
Really.
73
,425 --> 00:03:05,055
Uh, yeah.
74
,055 --> 00:03:07,365
My wife's from Arkansas originally.
75
,375 --> 00:03:10,284
So she wanted to raise our
kids outside of Los Angeles.
76
,325 --> 00:03:10,924
But that's cool.
77
,945 --> 00:03:12,295
Marc Preston: How much
land do you have up there?
78
,464 --> 00:03:15,425
David Arquette: Uh, it's
just, it's a nice farm.
79
,495 --> 00:03:18,035
Uh, just, we have a bunch of animals.
80
,075 --> 00:03:23,145
We have, uh, uh, many cows, too many cows.
81
,445 --> 00:03:28,825
Too many horses, many
donkey, ducks, a garden.
82
,915 --> 00:03:30,755
It's just really beautiful.
83
,775 --> 00:03:31,085
That
84
Family Life on the Farm
,085 --> 00:03:31,845
Marc Preston: is awesome.
85
,885 --> 00:03:33,845
Now, you have one
daughter, is that correct?
86
,925 --> 00:03:35,735
I have one daughter and two sons.
87
,755 --> 00:03:38,234
What are, what are they thinking
about the, the farm situation?
88
,234 --> 00:03:41,194
Are they down with it or are they kind of
like, Oh geez, here's dad doing something?
89
,225 --> 00:03:41,604
No,
90
,604 --> 00:03:41,964
David Arquette: no.
91
,354 --> 00:03:43,585
Oh, it's my wife too.
92
,595 --> 00:03:46,295
She really is crazy about the animals.
93
,335 --> 00:03:48,385
But um, no, they like it.
94
,405 --> 00:03:49,245
They like it a lot.
95
,245 --> 00:03:51,485
It's a, it's a new experience for them.
96
,625 --> 00:03:52,945
Um, you know.
97
,799 --> 00:03:59,560
My, uh, 10 year old, he was really
fond of Los Angeles, just in
98
,560 --> 00:04:04,210
general, and, uh, you know, coming
out is a bit of a change for him.
99
,220 --> 00:04:06,310
The 7 year old wasn't as aware.
100
,360 --> 00:04:09,929
Um, but my daughter, she
comes out to once in a while.
101
,950 --> 00:04:10,720
She loves it here.
102
,720 --> 00:04:11,680
It's really peaceful.
103
,709 --> 00:04:12,879
So she's still in L.
104
,880 --> 00:04:13,140
A.?
105
,180 --> 00:04:13,910
My daughter's
106
,910 --> 00:04:15,290
Marc Preston: going to school in New York.
107
,515 --> 00:04:19,714
Is she just started or is this, or is she
going to be going into her second year?
108
,755 --> 00:04:21,785
David Arquette: Yeah, she's
going into her second year.
109
,964 --> 00:04:23,255
She's really enjoying it.
110
,315 --> 00:04:25,435
Loving school.
111
,705 --> 00:04:27,165
Marc Preston: Yeah, my
mind's doing the same thing.
112
,165 --> 00:04:31,094
She's doing her gap year down here with
me, bartending at a big, big beach bar.
113
,475 --> 00:04:32,115
That's cool.
114
,145 --> 00:04:34,504
So she, she graduated a year
early, so she decided to do
115
,504 --> 00:04:35,775
her gap year down here with me.
116
,795 --> 00:04:36,505
That's good.
117
,505 --> 00:04:36,845
Yeah.
118
,039 --> 00:04:38,560
But she's starting in Florida.
119
,609 --> 00:04:41,549
So, you know, all of my kids
will be in college, which is,
120
,109 --> 00:04:43,680
you know, holding the tears back.
121
,719 --> 00:04:45,320
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
122
Bozo the Clown and Music Projects
,429 --> 00:04:49,580
Now, uh, being in Nashville was the,
um, didn't you, weren't you in a band
123
,580 --> 00:04:52,979
or didn't you do, was it music part
of your ecosystem for a while or is it
124
,979 --> 00:04:54,210
still kind of something you're doing?
125
,249 --> 00:04:56,379
David Arquette: No, I was in
a band for a little while.
126
,799 --> 00:04:59,150
Um, but it is something I'm still doing.
127
,159 --> 00:05:01,580
We're working on music
for Bose of the clown.
128
,140 --> 00:05:05,109
Uh, I have a wonderful
songwriting partner.
129
,530 --> 00:05:10,810
Graham Wheeler and we're, uh, making some
incredible music, some really fun stuff.
130
,830 --> 00:05:16,850
We're going to debut it very soon,
but, uh, yeah, it's been, I love music.
131
,970 --> 00:05:19,939
I mean, even in filmmaking,
didn't you purchase the rights to
132
,939 --> 00:05:20,569
Marc Preston: Bozo?
133
,830 --> 00:05:21,440
Am I correct?
134
,479 --> 00:05:21,719
Yeah.
135
,720 --> 00:05:22,029
Isn't that
136
,030 --> 00:05:22,339
David Arquette: what you did?
137
,339 --> 00:05:22,589
Yeah.
138
,589 --> 00:05:24,730
I purchased the rights to Bozo the clown.
139
,730 --> 00:05:28,870
I'd always loved the character
and spent 15 years trying to
140
,870 --> 00:05:31,130
acquire the rights, finally got it.
141
,130 --> 00:05:34,815
And now we're developing, uh,
We're doing a documentary about
142
,815 --> 00:05:36,495
sort of bringing that clown back.
143
,740 --> 00:05:42,010
We're, uh, developing a
feature film for Tubi.
144
,219 --> 00:05:46,640
Uh, we're working, we're
completing an album that we've,
145
,780 --> 00:05:47,939
we've completed the album.
146
,940 --> 00:05:50,909
We're just doing the final
processes to get it released.
147
,400 --> 00:05:53,790
Yeah, it's been really
fun to, to experience it.
148
,069 --> 00:05:57,820
We introduced Jozo Bozo, the
first female Bozo the Clown.
149
,910 --> 00:05:58,220
So
150
,220 --> 00:05:58,990
Marc Preston: what was the impetus
151
,990 --> 00:05:59,280
David Arquette: for that?
152
,290 --> 00:05:59,810
What was,
153
,810 --> 00:06:02,950
Marc Preston: was beyond
just Really enjoying Bozo.
154
,960 --> 00:06:05,050
Was there, was there something
like you wanted to kind of keep it,
155
,210 --> 00:06:09,600
keep Bozo alive as far as a, you
know, for kids or what was the idea
156
,620 --> 00:06:11,070
behind, you know, getting the rights?
157
,070 --> 00:06:11,260
And,
158
,280 --> 00:06:13,650
David Arquette: uh, the idea was
just, it was always a dream of
159
,650 --> 00:06:15,350
mine to keep that character alive.
160
,400 --> 00:06:16,800
That's really important.
161
,869 --> 00:06:22,300
Uh, there's so much history about Bozo
that we explore in the documentary and,
162
,360 --> 00:06:26,840
and just, you know, a lot of people have
a real fondness toward that character.
163
,500 --> 00:06:33,190
Especially in Chicago and, and sort of
the Midwest and, um, really all, uh,
164
,080 --> 00:06:39,949
you know, for certain generation, it
was a really important thing, but, you
165
,130 --> 00:06:44,009
know, we found that we've kind of lost
that sort of happy, silly clown, so
166
,009 --> 00:06:48,485
we're going to try to You know, do our
part in bringing that kind of joy back.
167
,505 --> 00:06:52,985
And, um, we're doing a huge
charity event here in Nashville.
168
,094 --> 00:06:55,995
That's a citywide baby shower.
169
,005 --> 00:07:01,365
So we're, we've, uh, done all these,
gotten all these donations for, uh,
170
,405 --> 00:07:04,575
expecting mothers and we're going
to be giving them these diaper
171
,575 --> 00:07:07,549
bags and some, some strollers and.
172
,790 --> 00:07:13,710
Uh, we're just really excited about the
opportunity to sort of celebrate, you
173
,710 --> 00:07:19,209
know, the experience that they're going
through and, and, uh, Uh, Jozo Bozo will
174
,220 --> 00:07:24,640
be there and his royal highness, who's
another character we've introduced from my
175
,690 --> 00:07:26,870
friend Kenan Walker, who's really great.
176
,579 --> 00:07:32,010
So, uh, yeah, we're gonna put
on a big show and free popcorn
177
,010 --> 00:07:34,330
and cotton candy and balloons.
178
,565 --> 00:07:36,985
Marc Preston: There's something I,
like I grew up in Dallas and we had
179
,985 --> 00:07:40,015
somebody, uh, it wasn't a clown,
but it was the same kind of thing.
180
,015 --> 00:07:41,815
It's a Saturday mornings or whatever.
181
,815 --> 00:07:42,715
It was called Mr.
182
,745 --> 00:07:43,395
Peppermint.
183
,794 --> 00:07:44,584
It was the thing.
184
,584 --> 00:07:48,164
And he had like this red and white
striped suit and a little cane.
185
,164 --> 00:07:49,955
And it was the same kind of ideas.
186
,965 --> 00:07:51,684
It was sort of in the ecosystem of Mr.
187
,685 --> 00:07:52,215
Rogers.
188
,224 --> 00:07:55,345
And it's funny because his son is
Gibby from the butthole surfers,
189
,345 --> 00:07:58,235
which is kind of a contrast.
190
,525 --> 00:07:59,455
Um, yeah,
191
,995 --> 00:08:03,920
David Arquette: he, he kind of
had a, A complicated story, right?
192
,280 --> 00:08:04,740
That guy.
193
,770 --> 00:08:05,030
Marc Preston: Yeah.
194
,030 --> 00:08:07,270
I think that would be a
diplomatic way of putting it.
195
,300 --> 00:08:07,510
David Arquette: Yeah.
196
,510 --> 00:08:07,810
Yeah.
197
,410 --> 00:08:09,370
Marc Preston: I heard stories.
198
,420 --> 00:08:13,750
Didn't you also, uh, there, I seem to
remember there's a Bob Ross connection.
199
Bob Ross Certification and Painting
,750 --> 00:08:18,109
Didn't you either, aren't you
teaching Bob Ross painting or
200
,109 --> 00:08:19,070
you certified or something?
201
,669 --> 00:08:20,970
Please pardon me if
I'm getting this wrong.
202
,980 --> 00:08:21,340
No,
203
,340 --> 00:08:23,990
David Arquette: I'm a
certified Bob Ross instructor.
204
,535 --> 00:08:27,195
Typically use it for charity events.
205
,765 --> 00:08:31,065
Uh, but yeah, I can teach people
how to paint like Bob Ross.
206
,065 --> 00:08:36,125
I can teach you how to paint happy
little trees in his same style.
207
,225 --> 00:08:38,924
Marc Preston: Now does painting
something you do is kind of a cathartic
208
,925 --> 00:08:43,655
thing to relax or, uh, or is it just
something you, you know, is it just
209
,655 --> 00:08:46,985
a skill you wanted to pick up or is
it something you still do regularly?
210
,165 --> 00:08:47,525
David Arquette: Yeah.
211
,525 --> 00:08:49,455
I first started painting doing sort of.
212
,760 --> 00:08:55,850
Graffiti mural, murals, graffiti art,
uh, so lettering and sort of characters.
213
,219 --> 00:09:00,150
And then that evolved into
taking art classes at school.
214
,660 --> 00:09:05,300
And then, um, and then I, uh, I
do the Bob Ross stuff because I
215
,300 --> 00:09:07,199
always loved his style of painting.
216
,199 --> 00:09:10,819
I was always fascinated by how he
could complete a painting so quickly.
217
,580 --> 00:09:16,750
And then I went down and I studied,
uh, In New Smyrna Beach, Florida,
218
,750 --> 00:09:20,460
I took a course, a three week
course, where I got certified.
219
,839 --> 00:09:24,960
And then I worked with the Bob
Ross company quite a bit in just
220
,960 --> 00:09:28,480
going around doing charities,
uh, doing different events.
221
,779 --> 00:09:32,959
I've done like, uh, corporation
team building exercises.
222
,310 --> 00:09:36,650
It's really fun, because a lot of
people think that that they can't
223
,660 --> 00:09:41,839
paint, but Bob Ross's whole style and
the kits that he puts together are all
224
,859 --> 00:09:45,079
designed for anyone to be able to do it.
225
,079 --> 00:09:48,459
So if you can explain it to
people, you know, my, my, when
226
,459 --> 00:09:52,830
I do it, it's not as sort of
soothing and kind of mellow as him.
227
,849 --> 00:09:55,609
I really want people to pick up the style.
228
,610 --> 00:09:58,469
So I always tell them like,
don't, don't overwork it.
229
,499 --> 00:10:00,660
Cause Bob Ross never overworked it.
230
,670 --> 00:10:04,424
He'd just do these kinds of things
and, you know, you'd use the.
231
,625 --> 00:10:05,814
Paintbrush in a certain way.
232
,814 --> 00:10:08,495
And it would just create
this beautiful picture.
233
,675 --> 00:10:11,305
Marc Preston: His story is really
interesting to me because like everybody,
234
,305 --> 00:10:15,984
he's known for kind of having that big
perm and it was, it was not as much a
235
,984 --> 00:10:20,064
style choice from what I understand is
more of an economic choice because when
236
,125 --> 00:10:22,835
he was in the air force or something,
he was trying to save money and he
237
,835 --> 00:10:25,564
figured, well, this means I have to
go to the barber less or something.
238
,605 --> 00:10:26,944
That's a true story.
239
,965 --> 00:10:27,695
Yeah, that is.
240
,920 --> 00:10:29,520
I don't know what kids now are watching.
241
,570 --> 00:10:32,460
You know, I know my kids were all
Disney channel and noggin and all
242
,460 --> 00:10:34,190
that, you know, uh, but I don't know.
243
,430 --> 00:10:36,400
I don't know if there's
anything out there like that.
244
,420 --> 00:10:36,580
Yeah.
245
,580 --> 00:10:36,760
They're
246
,820 --> 00:10:38,070
David Arquette: watching a lot of YouTube.
247
,120 --> 00:10:39,000
That's pretty much
248
,410 --> 00:10:40,270
Marc Preston: what my kids
249
,300 --> 00:10:40,650
David Arquette: watch
250
,679 --> 00:10:41,429
Marc Preston: entirely.
251
,630 --> 00:10:44,180
I know you probably every, every
time you sit down and talk with
252
,180 --> 00:10:45,299
folks, just like, yes, I know.
253
,320 --> 00:10:46,630
I've got a very talented family.
254
,640 --> 00:10:47,200
I know that.
255
Early Life and Acting Career
,520 --> 00:10:52,670
But, uh, but I'm kind of curious about
more of the origin, like how you, in
256
,670 --> 00:10:54,430
growing up, how did you, how did you land?
257
,439 --> 00:10:58,590
Was it, was, was it, Performance always
something on the, on the horizon for
258
,590 --> 00:11:01,910
you, uh, or is it something you kind
of like, eh, I'll give it a swing,
259
,920 --> 00:11:04,660
you know, and going back to junior
high, high school, whatever have you.
260
,909 --> 00:11:06,290
David Arquette: Uh, I always loved it.
261
,360 --> 00:11:10,189
Like a lot of my father was an
improv, improvisational actor.
262
,189 --> 00:11:13,539
So that sort of was in
our blood really early.
263
,079 --> 00:11:16,129
And we do little skits and stuff.
264
,189 --> 00:11:17,119
And then I remember.
265
,475 --> 00:11:21,715
playing a game called freeze, like,
you know, where people would be doing
266
,715 --> 00:11:24,685
a scene and then you'd say freeze
and then you'd come in and take
267
,685 --> 00:11:27,644
over the scene and like change it.
268
,655 --> 00:11:34,855
And, um, so that I just always loved that,
that kind of process and that experience.
269
,434 --> 00:11:38,915
So I remembered loving it, but then
when I was sort of a teenager, I
270
,915 --> 00:11:42,425
was kind of rebellious and didn't
want anything to do with it.
271
,435 --> 00:11:48,234
My sisters were making a name for
themselves and I had a really amazing.
272
,725 --> 00:11:52,815
drama teacher named Ben Debaldo,
who, who was doing a play at my
273
,825 --> 00:11:54,505
school at Fairfax high school.
274
,005 --> 00:11:56,295
And he really inspired me.
275
,295 --> 00:11:58,365
I got to do the play there.
276
,415 --> 00:12:03,074
And he really gave me confidence that,
uh, I did have a talent that I should
277
,074 --> 00:12:08,454
explore and that, uh, you know, and
then I got more comfortable with it
278
,454 --> 00:12:10,684
and just sort of built off of that.
279
,804 --> 00:12:14,345
And just being able to work in
this business for 30 plus years
280
,345 --> 00:12:18,585
has been really, uh, an honor and
something I've really enjoyed.
281
,705 --> 00:12:20,575
Marc Preston: Now you grew
up in Virginia, correct?
282
,825 --> 00:12:22,825
David Arquette: Uh, yeah,
I was born in Virginia.
283
,825 --> 00:12:24,595
I only lived there for a few years.
284
,625 --> 00:12:29,215
Then we moved to Evanston, Illinois,
where I fell in love with Bozo the clown.
285
,575 --> 00:12:32,725
And then, uh, then we
moved out to Los Angeles.
286
,085 --> 00:12:37,545
Where, uh, where I was pretty much
raised since I was five in Los Angeles.
287
,595 --> 00:12:38,225
Marc Preston: Okay, okay.
288
,225 --> 00:12:39,035
So you're, you're really young.
289
,035 --> 00:12:39,525
I gotcha.
290
,545 --> 00:12:40,045
Uh, yeah.
291
,045 --> 00:12:43,894
So in the birth order, you're,
you're the third or fourth kid?
292
,895 --> 00:12:44,845
I'm the youngest.
293
,895 --> 00:12:46,095
You're, oh, you're the baby.
294
,115 --> 00:12:46,545
Okay.
295
,725 --> 00:12:48,405
David Arquette: I'm,
I'm, yeah, I'm the fifth.
296
,584 --> 00:12:50,125
I'm the fifth youngest.
297
,125 --> 00:12:50,385
Yeah.
298
,435 --> 00:12:52,064
Marc Preston: One of the things
I've always appreciated about you,
299
,064 --> 00:12:54,335
there's never been one thing you do.
300
,760 --> 00:13:00,060
You know, you're, as far as genre and
like the side, well, not side projects,
301
,060 --> 00:13:04,590
but the other things that kind of, that
you enjoy doing, are you more of a, uh,
302
,639 --> 00:13:07,649
restless type, you know, or is there's
always, you're always kind of looking
303
,650 --> 00:13:12,750
for something that grabs your attention
or kind of how do you go from acting
304
,080 --> 00:13:14,600
and to everything else you're up to?
305
,680 --> 00:13:16,810
Is it something that's
just kind of like organic?
306
,810 --> 00:13:18,080
You just, that's who you are.
307
,150 --> 00:13:18,370
David Arquette: Yeah.
308
,370 --> 00:13:20,150
I try to find things that I love.
309
,470 --> 00:13:22,650
Like, uh, I love Bob Ross.
310
,650 --> 00:13:25,130
I love, uh, graffiti art.
311
,260 --> 00:13:28,670
So I do stuff like with
art in that direction.
312
,670 --> 00:13:33,270
I love, you know, celebrating and
having parties and having fun.
313
,270 --> 00:13:38,150
So I, you know, worked with H Wood
Group and opened Bootsy Bellows,
314
,150 --> 00:13:39,689
a nightclub in Los Angeles.
315
,690 --> 00:13:44,079
And I love, um, uh, you know, Bozo.
316
,079 --> 00:13:46,180
So I, I would focus on that.
317
,180 --> 00:13:47,229
I love wrestling.
318
,229 --> 00:13:49,150
So I would take, you know, wrestling.
319
,510 --> 00:13:58,050
It's also a, um, Uh, you know, self
preservation element to it as an actor.
320
,060 --> 00:14:02,229
It's, if you're waiting around for your
next job, unless you're writing a script
321
,229 --> 00:14:06,650
or, you know, a filmmaker on your own
part, it kind of can be really tedious
322
,650 --> 00:14:12,490
and kind of, uh, really hard on my type
of personality to be waiting around
323
,490 --> 00:14:14,870
and just not know what happens next.
324
,870 --> 00:14:17,600
So I always sort of have
to have something going on.
325
,290 --> 00:14:21,839
And I typically look for that
to be something that I love.
326
,879 --> 00:14:27,909
I think, uh, when you can do something you
love as a work, that's really where you
327
,909 --> 00:14:30,979
find the special, uh, elements of life.
328
,019 --> 00:14:34,010
Marc Preston: Do you have more of a
carpe diem, you know, disposition, it
329
,010 --> 00:14:37,419
seems like, you know, towards what it
is you're up to, you know, and I really
330
,430 --> 00:14:42,920
appreciate that because, um, like, God, I
remember as 2021, I interviewed, uh, uh,
331
,920 --> 00:14:45,180
John Favreau and he, and the first time
332
,935 --> 00:14:57,205
You know, you have that valley of time
between gigs, you know, you've, you're
333
,215 --> 00:15:00,224
filling it with things that bring you joy,
which I probably make you a better actor.
334
,225 --> 00:15:02,215
I'm assuming, you know, absolutely.
335
,364 --> 00:15:05,630
You know, last night I checked
out the good half and What I
336
,630 --> 00:15:07,400
like about what I enjoyed it.
337
,400 --> 00:15:08,560
I think it's unique.
338
,570 --> 00:15:12,940
It's, uh, it's sweet, but you're,
you're not the most pleasant guy that
339
,950 --> 00:15:14,619
you're always like the friendly fun guy.
340
,140 --> 00:15:19,749
You're not really the, you know,
you're, you're not very much.
341
,809 --> 00:15:20,560
You're not a match.
342
,210 --> 00:15:22,569
So no, no.
343
,759 --> 00:15:24,409
Do you like the, that eclectic vibe?
344
,409 --> 00:15:26,570
Like, do you like to do
things that you haven't done?
345
,570 --> 00:15:30,990
Or do you like to, you know, if you
have a choice of, of a character
346
,030 --> 00:15:33,705
type, do you like Or does it
even make a difference to you?
347
,815 --> 00:15:36,685
Like, is it just a great, I
mean, what, what is magnetic
348
,685 --> 00:15:37,995
for you when it comes to a role?
349
,010 --> 00:15:41,710
David Arquette: Let me
see, uh, I, I don't know.
350
,710 --> 00:15:43,990
I really, uh, I don't know.
351
,990 --> 00:15:46,150
He was really just a funny character.
352
,260 --> 00:15:52,179
You know, Brett wrote a script that was
based on true events of his experience
353
,180 --> 00:15:54,509
in going through this in Cleveland.
354
,509 --> 00:15:59,449
And, you know, Cleveland gets a really
bad rap in this film, but it's an amazing
355
,449 --> 00:16:01,779
town and everyone should visit it.
356
,780 --> 00:16:02,840
I love Cleveland.
357
,850 --> 00:16:04,280
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
358
,585 --> 00:16:06,555
Marc Preston: Yeah, I remember him
coming out of the airport and that
359
,555 --> 00:16:09,985
one scene it's like he's speaking to
the early men on the plane It's like
360
,735 --> 00:16:14,535
yeah, Cleveland great weather and all
you just immediately was no love for
361
,535 --> 00:16:16,325
Cleveland and right then but it's you know
362
,325 --> 00:16:22,464
David Arquette: I think that was
from the Writer's personal experience
363
,465 --> 00:16:27,255
of this time in his life, but um
aside from that Playing a character
364
,265 --> 00:16:29,485
like this is really kind of fun.
365
,505 --> 00:16:31,685
I mean, he was a, he's
a complete narcissist.
366
,694 --> 00:16:36,854
So he, he looked at everything in a sort
of different disposition than I did.
367
,854 --> 00:16:42,034
I, I would, I, you know, and I have
to hold back laughter at some point.
368
,034 --> 00:16:47,194
And, and sometimes they, you know, he
would always be in his head thinking about
369
,194 --> 00:16:52,140
how it affected him or like his take on
it, or, you know, worried about like, you
370
,140 --> 00:16:55,405
know, You know, how much money is this
going to cost, and how can we get out of
371
,525 --> 00:17:01,174
here sooner, and you know, if you come
from that point of view, it informs a lot
372
,175 --> 00:17:05,394
of your decision making, and like, there's
one scene at the end of the movie where
373
,395 --> 00:17:10,614
I get upset with Nick Jonas character,
or he gets upset with my character, but
374
,614 --> 00:17:15,635
I get really angry, and I'm, You know,
I say some really hurtful things to him.
375
,395 --> 00:17:22,325
But what the audience doesn't know, and
nobody really knows, is that my acting
376
,344 --> 00:17:28,890
sort of, uh, You know, my source for that
anger was funny because in the script
377
,910 --> 00:17:36,340
I'm written in to be part of this drive
from the characters take a limousine
378
,340 --> 00:17:42,749
from the funeral to the, to the party
afterwards or the memorial service.
379
,579 --> 00:17:46,969
But, uh, Robert said he
was making this decision.
380
,969 --> 00:17:50,520
He said, you know, listen, David, I'm not
going to have you in the limousine ride.
381
,010 --> 00:17:53,490
And he was just like, I
was like, okay, no problem.
382
,490 --> 00:17:57,110
I, you know, I have another two hours
off before I have to go to work.
383
,040 --> 00:18:02,260
But what he didn't know was that Rick,
the character was really upset about that.
384
,910 --> 00:18:06,040
Rick was like, how, how dare
you not have me in that car?
385
,040 --> 00:18:07,549
I paid for this limousine.
386
,909 --> 00:18:10,089
Oh, I'm not going to be
riding in this limousine.
387
,089 --> 00:18:14,500
Like you guys are all riding and I'm not
allowed to like, that's what made Rick
388
,500 --> 00:18:20,710
so mad about And it wasn't even about
him being mad at me for telling a joke.
389
,070 --> 00:18:26,080
He was like, just angry about this
limousine ride, to be honest with you.
390
,430 --> 00:18:27,080
So that's where
391
,109 --> 00:18:27,969
Marc Preston: my drive came from.
392
,010 --> 00:18:32,020
That was my, one of my favorite scenes
in the movie, because That what I
393
,020 --> 00:18:34,660
like is that tension, you know, and
I don't want to give too much away.
394
,129 --> 00:18:35,980
I don't want to give anything away.
395
,980 --> 00:18:39,870
The movie actually, I really enjoyed it,
but you just kind of felt like there was
396
,870 --> 00:18:41,349
something simmering under the surface.
397
,349 --> 00:18:44,520
You weren't fully freeing the beast,
but you had some things you had to say.
398
,929 --> 00:18:48,409
And in that time, honestly, in that
moment, there was, there was probably
399
,409 --> 00:18:50,960
the most empathy you had for the
character in the whole film right
400
,960 --> 00:18:54,260
then, you know, like, okay, I kind
of get where this guy's coming from.
401
,490 --> 00:18:56,740
Don't necessarily agree, but
I see where he's coming from.
402
,740 --> 00:18:57,149
He's made his
403
,150 --> 00:18:59,459
David Arquette: case.
404
,460 --> 00:19:01,330
Marc Preston: You know, it was
fun because Matt Walsh, I spoke
405
,330 --> 00:19:02,100
with him a little while back.
406
,100 --> 00:19:03,699
He's such a talented dude.
407
,699 --> 00:19:08,240
I always love watching him show up and he
was kind of a fun counterpoint as a dad,
408
,700 --> 00:19:10,823
you know, to, to who you, who you are.
409
,823 --> 00:19:14,636
Kind of go back.
410
,636 --> 00:19:15,589
You
411
,270 --> 00:19:19,330
mentioned the wrestling thing.
412
,379 --> 00:19:20,950
I am so curious.
413
,179 --> 00:19:25,199
I grew up in Dallas where the Von
Erich family was like really big.
414
,199 --> 00:19:28,179
In fact, we're watching, my son and
I were watching iron claw and we
415
,179 --> 00:19:31,110
haven't made it all the way through,
but what was your draw to wrestling?
416
,120 --> 00:19:32,119
Is it the theater of it?
417
,129 --> 00:19:34,709
What, what was it that pulled you in that
418
,709 --> 00:19:35,290
direction?
419
,500 --> 00:19:37,469
David Arquette: I just
loved it so much as a kid.
420
,469 --> 00:19:39,569
I loved the theatrics of it.
421
,569 --> 00:19:40,360
I loved the like.
422
,840 --> 00:19:43,709
extreme characters.
423
,049 --> 00:19:45,419
I love the humor of it.
424
,860 --> 00:19:50,610
You know, when I was growing up, it was
Junkyard Dog and Hulk Hogan and Rowdy,
425
,610 --> 00:19:57,959
Rowdy Piper, and Jimmy Snuka and like
all these kind of really larger than
426
,959 --> 00:20:00,339
life characters and Andre the Giant.
427
,360 --> 00:20:02,560
And, Macho man, man, Savage.
428
,560 --> 00:20:02,650
Oh yeah.
429
,650 --> 00:20:04,990
And I just, I love Miss Elizabeth.
430
,990 --> 00:20:08,050
I'd like, like I was
head over heels for her.
431
,550 --> 00:20:10,850
So, um, I don't know.
432
,850 --> 00:20:14,740
I always just sort of loved that world.
433
,040 --> 00:20:20,640
I got re sort of, uh, energized by
it when I watched Ready to Rumble.
434
,670 --> 00:20:24,960
I mean, when I was part of Ready
to Rumble and then I went on a.
435
,930 --> 00:20:31,560
tour to promote the film and I
toured with WCW and they ended
436
,560 --> 00:20:33,270
up making me the champion.
437
,420 --> 00:20:38,910
So the fans got really upset at the
fact that an actor was the champion.
438
,990 --> 00:20:43,939
I was looking at it as like, I'm the,
one of the first like fan champions,
439
,459 --> 00:20:46,270
but people got really, really upset.
440
,270 --> 00:20:49,800
So I went back, I went back
and I did the documentary.
441
,800 --> 00:20:55,219
You Cannot Kill David Arquette to sort
of explore why they got so upset at me.
442
,445 --> 00:21:02,575
And, uh, through that process, we kind of
discovered like, Oh, it's, you know, you
443
,575 --> 00:21:04,465
know, people dedicate their lives to it.
444
,465 --> 00:21:06,144
It's like generational.
445
,375 --> 00:21:11,185
It's really, you know, it's, it's a lot
deeper than a lot of people understand.
446
,645 --> 00:21:16,534
And a lot more goes into and it's really
grueling work and, and, uh, you have
447
,534 --> 00:21:19,555
to really put your body on the line.
448
,565 --> 00:21:23,884
So I have the utmost respect
for wrestlers and just having to
449
,005 --> 00:21:25,554
go through that, you have this.
450
,815 --> 00:21:26,184
Marc Preston: I liked it.
451
,184 --> 00:21:28,905
Kind of like when the movie of
the wrestler with, yeah, but yeah,
452
,905 --> 00:21:30,785
the wrestler for me was just like.
453
,864 --> 00:21:35,465
That was, that was, it was intense, but
you realize there's this fun theater
454
,465 --> 00:21:39,605
and all that, but behind the scenes
is just the, the, the, the taxation
455
,605 --> 00:21:42,624
on somebody's body that they put
themselves through to, to do this thing.
456
The Realities of Indie Wrestling
,885 --> 00:21:44,555
David Arquette: Yeah, it's, it's real.
457
,604 --> 00:21:51,175
And there's so many elements of that,
that, that, uh, film that are real that
458
,175 --> 00:21:55,685
you kind of experience and when you're
going and You're doing the Indies lurk
459
,685 --> 00:22:00,455
and you show up, your hotel's not there
because they got it from some kind
460
,455 --> 00:22:02,895
of website that did, they overbooked.
461
,895 --> 00:22:05,635
So you have to like figure out where
you're going to sleep that night.
462
,665 --> 00:22:06,335
Kind of thing.
463
,484 --> 00:22:08,154
Marc Preston: I'm not a
big fan of wrestling, quote
464
,154 --> 00:22:09,114
unquote, fan of wrestling.
465
,114 --> 00:22:11,844
I appreciate it as you know, but
it seems like there's, there's
466
,844 --> 00:22:15,425
storylines and that seems to be the
thing that people kind of get what's.
467
,010 --> 00:22:20,050
You know, it is theater to a great degree,
but there's, there's reality built in.
468
,050 --> 00:22:22,790
Cause it's really your body
doing it, but it's the storyline.
469
,790 --> 00:22:26,409
So I think people kind of, you
know, it's, it's, it's almost like,
470
,409 --> 00:22:27,389
you know what it feels like to me.
471
,389 --> 00:22:29,990
It's almost like soap opera for dudes.
472
,820 --> 00:22:32,969
David Arquette: That's a funny way.
473
,509 --> 00:22:34,390
Yeah, for sure.
474
,400 --> 00:22:37,110
It's when you, when you really
like one of those characters.
475
,315 --> 00:22:39,315
Marc Preston: When I was, I don't
know, as I was a little kid, I remember
476
,545 --> 00:22:43,685
hearing about the Vaughn Erics and they
would always show up on commercials
477
,685 --> 00:22:46,324
in Dallas and I, you know, you didn't
have to be in a wrestling to know
478
,325 --> 00:22:47,935
who the Vaughn Erics were, you know?
479
,344 --> 00:22:51,754
Um, I don't, I don't know how in the
overall world of wrestling, how many
480
,754 --> 00:22:54,824
people knew about them, but I know in
Dallas there was a really big deal.
481
,865 --> 00:22:56,435
Yeah, they were legendary.
482
,555 --> 00:22:59,305
Is that something you
still have a passion for?
483
,305 --> 00:23:01,685
Is like you want to be involved in,
or do you kind of want to kind of show
484
,685 --> 00:23:04,485
up as a surprise, you know, like, or
is it kind of like, okay, I've done
485
,485 --> 00:23:07,654
that thing or is it something you
still want to play with a little bit?
486
Wrestling Aspirations and Action Figures
,150 --> 00:23:11,630
David Arquette: Well, I've never
had a, um, an action figure.
487
,640 --> 00:23:16,970
It's one of the sort of wrestling,
you know, notches, you know,
488
,480 --> 00:23:19,200
plateaus you want to reach.
489
,640 --> 00:23:23,500
And, you know, I was a former
heavy, you know, world champion.
490
,500 --> 00:23:30,680
So the fact that I'm, I don't have
a, Uh, you know, uh, uh, figure
491
,750 --> 00:23:34,920
is kind of upsetting, but, uh, I'd
also like to be in a video game.
492
,020 --> 00:23:36,650
I think that would be really fun.
493
Voiceover and Video Game Roles
,849 --> 00:23:36,949
Marc Preston: Yeah.
494
,960 --> 00:23:40,020
Have you ever done voiceover or
anything for video games or, you know,
495
,020 --> 00:23:43,879
I thought I'd seen something that
you'd done some video game stuff at
496
,880 --> 00:23:46,400
one point in time, not, not wrestling,
but have you done anything like that?
497
,570 --> 00:23:47,809
David Arquette: Yeah, I've done a couple.
498
,810 --> 00:23:48,470
I was, uh.
499
,470 --> 00:23:48,497
Yeah.
500
,497 --> 00:23:48,524
Yeah.
501
,335 --> 00:23:52,195
Uh, early on I did SSX Tricky.
502
,195 --> 00:23:55,845
I played a character named
Eddie in a snowboard video game.
503
,845 --> 00:24:01,185
And then the next one I did
was an ESPN football game.
504
,695 --> 00:24:06,714
And then I did, uh, recently I did The
Quarry, which was a horror sort of game.
505
,890 --> 00:24:10,640
Video game where I played a character in
it and they scanned my body and all that.
506
,710 --> 00:24:11,600
I really enjoyed it.
507
,390 --> 00:24:13,580
Marc Preston: That seems
like it'd be so much fun.
508
,580 --> 00:24:16,720
I, the voice, voiceover stuff
I do is completely unrelated to
509
,720 --> 00:24:18,820
that, but I've always wanted to
do the video game thing for fun.
510
,830 --> 00:24:22,650
Like my son, uh, he was playing
was a red dead redemption.
511
,660 --> 00:24:24,790
And I know like a bunch of the
guys that are in it, you know?
512
,809 --> 00:24:25,579
So it's kind of weird.
513
,590 --> 00:24:26,719
Like, well, doggone it.
514
,720 --> 00:24:28,080
I should have done that
when my kids were young.
515
,080 --> 00:24:29,070
They would have thought it was cool.
516
Family and Wrestling
,280 --> 00:24:31,679
How did your kids perceive
you doing the wrestling thing?
517
,679 --> 00:24:32,360
I'm kind of curious.
518
,389 --> 00:24:33,689
What was, what was that like?
519
,699 --> 00:24:34,659
Like that's uncalled for.
520
,840 --> 00:24:37,060
TV, but now he's doing
what's going on here.
521
,409 --> 00:24:39,479
Well, how was that
received by the young folk?
522
,709 --> 00:24:43,519
David Arquette: Well, we had a
Wrestling, uh ring in the backyard.
523
,519 --> 00:24:45,120
So that part was really fun.
524
,120 --> 00:24:49,830
They love climbing on it running
around Wrestling and meeting all the
525
,830 --> 00:24:54,580
wrestlers and you know, there was
you know, some injuries involved So
526
,580 --> 00:24:58,590
they'd see dad come home all beat
up a lot of the times that was kind
527
,590 --> 00:25:01,390
of tough But they uh, they liked it.
528
,400 --> 00:25:02,550
They they enjoyed it.
529
,570 --> 00:25:06,765
It was a You It was a fun
period of time for sure.
530
,305 --> 00:25:10,695
Marc Preston: Well, have they expressed
any interest in doing the acting thing?
531
,765 --> 00:25:12,055
Now, what's your perception on that?
532
,055 --> 00:25:13,164
Are you trying to encourage it?
533
,164 --> 00:25:14,615
Are you like, yeah, I
don't know about that.
534
,615 --> 00:25:16,305
Or is your daughter like, hell no.
535
,225 --> 00:25:21,164
David Arquette: My daughter loves like
theater and singing and performing.
536
,215 --> 00:25:22,895
She's a natural as well.
537
,935 --> 00:25:24,655
She's just really great at it.
538
,305 --> 00:25:29,465
And, uh, My two boys, yeah,
they, they love acting too.
539
,465 --> 00:25:32,625
It's kind of like the thing, they
like it more than they like sports.
540
,625 --> 00:25:35,584
So it's kind of interesting
to see that element.
541
,185 --> 00:25:39,544
They love, yeah, they're
natural performers or jokers.
542
,544 --> 00:25:44,904
And they like, you know, one of my
sons especially likes to clown, you
543
,905 --> 00:25:49,855
know, like clown around and dress as a
clown and put on the shoes and follow
544
,865 --> 00:25:52,175
do pratfalls and stuff like that.
545
,175 --> 00:25:55,235
It's really funny to see
their personalities evolve.
546
,055 --> 00:25:59,375
You know, see what they find
joy in and just really, that's
547
,375 --> 00:26:01,254
really what it is all about.
548
,295 --> 00:26:06,355
Like whatever you love, you
should pursue and, and, you
549
,355 --> 00:26:08,124
know, not let anyone stop you.
550
,435 --> 00:26:10,615
Marc Preston: Now your daughter's
kind of that age where she can,
551
,645 --> 00:26:13,674
you know, if she, if she's into
it, she can move in that direction.
552
,674 --> 00:26:17,815
But like, what pieces of advice are you
dropping for her to, you know, make sure
553
,815 --> 00:26:19,435
she's kind of staying on a good path?
554
,770 --> 00:26:22,190
David Arquette: Yeah, she's got
a wonderful head on her shoulders
555
,220 --> 00:26:26,630
and, you know, we purposely, she'd
been doing plays all throughout,
556
,800 --> 00:26:30,830
you know, her childhood and all
these, you know, community theater.
557
,300 --> 00:26:37,660
So, um, you know, she'd done a ton of
stuff already by the time she had gotten
558
,660 --> 00:26:42,369
to college and started studying with all
these incredible teachers at her school.
559
,895 --> 00:26:48,945
But, uh, it was really kind of making
sure she didn't get in too early.
560
,955 --> 00:26:54,265
It was part of our like protection,
just, you know, if you decide to do
561
,265 --> 00:26:58,374
it later, like, you know, but as she
was growing up, there was always like
562
,445 --> 00:27:02,625
little times where people kind of came
up and were like wanting her to audition
563
,635 --> 00:27:07,295
for something or this or that, but we
just really kind of didn't want her to.
564
,129 --> 00:27:12,679
Pursue it professionally until she was
old enough and, and, you know, sort
565
,679 --> 00:27:15,080
of understood the world in general.
566
,270 --> 00:27:18,949
It's a kind of complex world when you
get thrown into it at a young age.
567
,989 --> 00:27:21,279
Marc Preston: Yeah, I think because you
don't really have as much to pull from and
568
,279 --> 00:27:24,930
I think you probably don't have as much
kind of Kevlar built up to, you know, deal
569
,930 --> 00:27:26,200
with some of the stuff that comes at you.
570
,200 --> 00:27:29,410
But, you know, one of the things
I, I always hear that I, you know,
571
,410 --> 00:27:32,230
my son's girlfriend mentioned
something about Nepo baby and all
572
,230 --> 00:27:33,610
that, which I think is just nonsense.
573
,629 --> 00:27:36,130
Cause is you've worked in
the industry long enough.
574
,440 --> 00:27:39,629
It might get you one gig, but
unless you can perform and really
575
,640 --> 00:27:42,140
bring something you're, you're
not going to be hired, you know?
576
,140 --> 00:27:46,420
So that's, that's one of the things
that I think, obviously based on her
577
,420 --> 00:27:50,859
lineage, you know, people will look at
her, you know, is, is it something that,
578
,860 --> 00:27:53,925
you know, That you want to encourage
or are you just going to let her kind
579
,925 --> 00:27:55,485
of come by on your, uh, on her own?
580
,485 --> 00:27:59,325
I mean, she's, she's got lots of people
in her family to ask questions of.
581
,325 --> 00:28:00,415
I'm kind of envious of her.
582
,364 --> 00:28:04,205
David Arquette: Yeah, I
think there's a lot to it.
583
,205 --> 00:28:06,304
I mean, we're actually fourth generation.
584
,305 --> 00:28:08,225
Our generation goes back to vaudeville.
585
,235 --> 00:28:12,155
So, you know, it's Yeah, it's funny.
586
,155 --> 00:28:14,794
I mean, it definitely, there
are elements that open the door.
587
,794 --> 00:28:19,534
There's also elements that, you know,
make it harder to a certain extent.
588
,574 --> 00:28:24,064
I mean, you know, I feel very blessed
to have the opportunities that I've had,
589
,774 --> 00:28:27,004
but, um, you know, it's a complex world.
590
,004 --> 00:28:31,815
It's a complex, uh, business to be a part
of and kind of try to even wrap your head
591
,825 --> 00:28:38,175
around it, you know, to, to keep a, uh,
you know, a, a good attitude about it.
592
,175 --> 00:28:43,870
You know, it's, it's a, it's a business
of like, When it rains it pours and when
593
,870 --> 00:28:50,260
it's, uh, dry it's really dry and you
know it's really tough on your mental
594
,270 --> 00:28:57,839
state or like yourself, uh, your opinion
of yourself and sort of a, you know, it's
595
,839 --> 00:28:59,709
hard like when you're just not working.
596
,709 --> 00:29:05,930
That's always why I had different, you
know, business kind of opportunities going
597
,930 --> 00:29:11,510
on at different times because to rely on
acting alone is really a difficult thing.
598
Arquette Family's Entertainment Roots
,780 --> 00:29:11,939
Thing
599
,939 --> 00:29:14,169
Marc Preston: I'm curious about though,
you mentioned vaudeville, that's
600
,169 --> 00:29:15,540
kind of a cool lineage to have it.
601
,550 --> 00:29:16,679
Like where are your folks from?
602
,729 --> 00:29:20,000
Uh, are they from the Virginia
area originally or, you know, your
603
,000 --> 00:29:21,499
people, where do they emanate from?
604
,530 --> 00:29:24,429
David Arquette: Uh, well, the
vaudeville, they did vaudeville
605
,449 --> 00:29:26,860
in Toledo, Ohio, actually.
606
,959 --> 00:29:30,550
So maybe that's why I have
such a soft spot, soft spot.
607
,044 --> 00:29:32,405
spot for Cleveland.
608
,915 --> 00:29:38,975
But, um, yeah, they originally, my, my
family line came through on my father's
609
,975 --> 00:29:45,674
side, came through, um, uh, Canada
through Montreal and then they came down
610
,675 --> 00:29:51,624
and they settled in Toledo and that's
where they did, uh, like a small kind
611
,624 --> 00:29:57,885
of, my grandfather said like a rinky
dink kind of, uh, a vaudeville act.
612
,715 --> 00:30:05,255
Uh, and then my grandfather picked
up the skills there and then toured
613
,255 --> 00:30:11,425
as a piano player with, uh, and
did, did an act himself and, and
614
,425 --> 00:30:15,840
then made from radio to television.
615
,370 --> 00:30:22,070
And then my father was an actor
as well and studied in New York.
616
,120 --> 00:30:24,720
And my mother, that's where
he met my mother in New York.
617
,780 --> 00:30:27,630
My mother was originally
from Scranton, Pennsylvania.
618
,320 --> 00:30:34,114
And then, uh, they both met and,
uh, they were both performers and.
619
,995 --> 00:30:39,805
Uh, you kind of learn it as you're going
up, as if, you know, your father was a
620
,825 --> 00:30:45,305
contractor, you'd probably learn how to
build a house better, or a gardener, you'd
621
,505 --> 00:30:48,245
learn how to plant, you know, better.
622
,355 --> 00:30:51,255
So it's all those kind of stuff.
623
,335 --> 00:30:53,185
Marc Preston: Were they encouraging
you to go that direction or
624
,185 --> 00:30:53,925
were they like A little, I
625
,985 --> 00:30:57,185
David Arquette: mean, you know, I, I
got rejected quite a bit, like trying
626
,185 --> 00:30:59,095
to find an agent at a young age.
627
,105 --> 00:31:03,945
You know, I did a play at a library when
I was really young, like a little, you
628
,945 --> 00:31:07,110
know, little kind of But I loved it.
629
,110 --> 00:31:08,360
I remember loving it.
630
,370 --> 00:31:12,940
And then, um, and then a lot, you
know, I did little, you know, Gilbert
631
,940 --> 00:31:15,360
and Sullivan in elementary school.
632
,360 --> 00:31:19,070
And I always remember
enjoying the process.
633
,070 --> 00:31:24,800
But, you know, it wasn't until I met my
teacher, Ben DiBaldo, in high school,
634
,980 --> 00:31:30,255
uh, Fairfax High School, who really
inspired me to, you know, confidence
635
,255 --> 00:31:32,025
to feel like I could actually do it.
636
,035 --> 00:31:36,505
So as much as all that stuff, I mean,
when I was growing up, a lot of it.
637
,190 --> 00:31:40,460
It was kind of intimidating, the
fact that my family was in it.
638
,550 --> 00:31:46,100
My sisters were becoming famous and,
you know, people would want to be your
639
,100 --> 00:31:47,880
friends because of that certain thing.
640
,880 --> 00:31:52,050
So there's all kinds of
elements with the NEPO element.
641
,640 --> 00:31:53,650
It's kind of funny.
642
,060 --> 00:31:56,000
I find it just sort of funny.
643
,450 --> 00:32:00,190
But, uh, it's a hard business in
general, no matter how you are.
644
,810 --> 00:32:03,180
Marc Preston: Yeah, I mean, I always
thought that whole NEPO thing was, it's,
645
,190 --> 00:32:06,840
it's gotta be nonsensical because yeah,
it might get you, it may get, may open
646
,840 --> 00:32:10,460
a couple of doors, but certainly doesn't
necessarily consistently get you work.
647
,890 --> 00:32:16,070
Um, what haven't you done that you can go,
you know, that, that would be fun to do.
648
,100 --> 00:32:17,380
That would be a good challenge.
649
,380 --> 00:32:20,160
Is there something on the horizon you're
like, I want to, I want to do that.
650
,620 --> 00:32:21,330
David Arquette: You know, it's real.
651
,035 --> 00:32:26,325
The more older I get, the more it's
like working with the right people, the
652
,325 --> 00:32:32,215
right, uh, you know, other cast members,
the right director, the right story.
653
,885 --> 00:32:36,215
You know, you just have to be
pretty, really selective about that.
654
,355 --> 00:32:39,355
A lot of the time I do
things for different reasons.
655
,355 --> 00:32:43,365
I'll do a kids movie because I want,
you know, my kids to be able to see
656
,365 --> 00:32:49,345
it and, you know, something that
super silly or Um, you don't do
657
,345 --> 00:32:55,165
something dramatic just to show some
range, but, uh, it's really hard.
658
,165 --> 00:33:00,245
Like sometimes you're doing, you sign up
for an independent film and it's just not
659
,245 --> 00:33:04,885
as, uh, you know, once you get on the set,
they're like, listen, we can't have this.
660
,290 --> 00:33:07,460
You know, we can't really
afford the car accident.
661
,460 --> 00:33:11,130
I was like, well, the car accident's
a pretty major part of the thing,
662
,130 --> 00:33:14,420
and if you kind of half ass a car
accident, it doesn't really play
663
,420 --> 00:33:18,370
as much, and it doesn't give it
the weight that it was supposed to.
664
,140 --> 00:33:21,730
So it's hard to kind of
judge a lot of those things.
665
,260 --> 00:33:27,560
So being selective, but, uh, I don't
know, I, I love, uh, I don't know.
666
,560 --> 00:33:29,350
I love all kinds of different things.
667
,350 --> 00:33:31,660
So it's just more the
quality of the story.
668
,020 --> 00:33:36,540
I mean, I would love to do a series,
a really, really great series.
669
,850 --> 00:33:37,160
Marc Preston: Yeah.
670
,160 --> 00:33:39,650
That's something that I've talked
to a couple of people lately.
671
,650 --> 00:33:42,140
Like, I just want to get a good seer,
you know, because now you're, we're
672
,140 --> 00:33:46,000
in an era where what's happening on
TV, but back in the eighties, early
673
,000 --> 00:33:48,740
nineties, you can't really bounce
back and forth from TV to film.
674
,740 --> 00:33:52,595
It's like, once you've transitioned,
you know, uh, Um, but now it's like,
675
,595 --> 00:33:55,605
seems like people want to get a,
take a good bite out of like a cool
676
,605 --> 00:33:59,405
character for a Sierra, like a, like
multi season series or something.
677
Balancing Multiple Ventures
,005 --> 00:34:02,625
You know, one of, one of the note
I just, I just did the cursory.
678
,625 --> 00:34:04,165
I don't do a lot of prep.
679
,165 --> 00:34:06,735
I just kind of like to sit down
and chat with folks, but I did
680
,735 --> 00:34:09,245
see a little note that you had
a clothing line with Ben Harper.
681
,245 --> 00:34:10,115
Do you still do that?
682
,345 --> 00:34:13,734
Is that still something
you're, uh, or am I, No,
683
,735 --> 00:34:17,665
David Arquette: no, that, that was a three
year experience, which was really costly,
684
,665 --> 00:34:20,645
but a great educational experience.
685
,715 --> 00:34:23,755
That's another example
of like something I love.
686
,765 --> 00:34:31,075
So me and Ben both had a love for, for,
uh, the garment industry and, and just,
687
,075 --> 00:34:34,395
uh, Fabrics and clothing and design.
688
,395 --> 00:34:39,105
And so it was a really wonderful learning
experience, but no, it doesn't exist
689
,105 --> 00:34:44,315
anymore, but you know, we're producing
different t shirts and different,
690
,505 --> 00:34:51,155
you know, bull heirs just made a Bozo
shoe, which is an amazing shoe company.
691
,185 --> 00:34:56,025
So yeah, we're designing
some new Bozo, uh, products.
692
,045 --> 00:35:00,645
So it goes into, you learn different
skills that then you can use in
693
,655 --> 00:35:02,590
different, uh, Different departments.
694
,790 --> 00:35:05,640
Marc Preston: You must be a Jedi Knight
when it comes to time management.
695
,670 --> 00:35:08,350
I'm doing a few things, but I'm like,
how does he manage all this stuff?
696
,380 --> 00:35:11,610
You must, you must have a good
team of people who give you a hand.
697
,640 --> 00:35:11,860
I have an
698
,860 --> 00:35:12,840
David Arquette: incredible wife.
699
,850 --> 00:35:14,880
She's really Christina Arquette.
700
,880 --> 00:35:23,040
It's the, really the, uh, the, the
secret, the ninja behind it all.
701
,080 --> 00:35:23,950
She's wonderful.
702
,950 --> 00:35:29,590
I mean, she's, you know, she wasn't
around when I was doing the clothing
703
,590 --> 00:35:32,740
line, but the, um, you know.
704
,080 --> 00:35:38,820
I don't know, you just focus the time on
the things you, it's getting harder, like.
705
,205 --> 00:35:40,985
Bozo was a big undertaking.
706
,985 --> 00:35:48,695
So this has been kind of a lot to, uh, to,
to juggle, no fun intended, but, uh, it's
707
,725 --> 00:35:53,455
been really rewarding and you know, it,
it, you give it time and you just sort of
708
,455 --> 00:35:59,145
work on it and, and, uh, you find time to
make meetings and, and make things happen.
709
,275 --> 00:36:02,795
Marc Preston: Do you have a website
or do you have like a Bozo central
710
,825 --> 00:36:04,645
where people can kind of find out?
711
,230 --> 00:36:05,950
About that.
712
,950 --> 00:36:08,710
I mean, or is there, have you gotten
that kind of far into the process?
713
,770 --> 00:36:09,550
Bozo central.
714
,550 --> 00:36:10,900
I never thought I'd say that phrase, but
715
,230 --> 00:36:11,530
David Arquette: yeah.
716
,780 --> 00:36:13,430
There's bozo.
717
,770 --> 00:36:18,760
com, but it's still sort of, it's in
the, all the stuff that you see of Bozo
718
,760 --> 00:36:23,060
out there right now is connected to the
documentary that we're making, and there's
719
,060 --> 00:36:27,650
a lot of sort of like crashing and burning
and kind of figuring out the process.
720
,650 --> 00:36:30,770
So there's like little videos
and stuff out there, but they're
721
,770 --> 00:36:32,880
all sort of geared toward that.
722
,890 --> 00:36:39,370
So there'll be a bigger sort of
movement of the Bozo, uh, brand, uh, a
723
,370 --> 00:36:44,260
bigger whole, uh, undertaking when the
film comes out, when the album comes
724
,260 --> 00:36:45,730
out, when the documentary comes out.
725
,730 --> 00:36:49,680
So that's all going to be, but
there's Bozo's Barnyard, which you
726
,680 --> 00:36:54,440
can check in on, uh, the farm we
have here on Instagram and just
727
,440 --> 00:36:57,340
follow me on, on Instagram as well.
728
,380 --> 00:37:00,970
That, uh, sort of tell
you what I'm sort of.
729
,530 --> 00:37:02,730
Been up to
730
Upcoming Projects
,900 --> 00:37:04,930
Marc Preston: you know, what
do you have on the horizon next
731
,970 --> 00:37:06,690
anything TV film wise right now?
732
,690 --> 00:37:09,830
Are you kind of taking a little break
or deciding on what the next thing is?
733
,790 --> 00:37:15,050
David Arquette: Uh, I have little things
I mean not little things but I have
734
,270 --> 00:37:18,490
projects that I've done that are coming
out I have a little role in a movie
735
,490 --> 00:37:21,240
called Holy Trinity, that's a really
736
,340 --> 00:37:28,050
Let's see, I have a few other things.
737
,050 --> 00:37:31,580
I just completed a film
called The Perfect Gamble.
738
,240 --> 00:37:36,450
Just an amazing film with
an amazing group of people.
739
,620 --> 00:37:42,020
I just did a smaller role in
a film called Stranglehold.
740
,020 --> 00:37:44,240
So I have a few things coming up.
741
,110 --> 00:37:46,850
It's, uh, it's always kind of weird.
742
The Seven Questions
,440 --> 00:37:55,680
Marc Preston: I have a quick, uh, what
do you call them, like seven questions
743
,680 --> 00:37:57,630
before we kind of wrap things up here.
744
,630 --> 00:37:58,320
It's just kind of fun.
745
,320 --> 00:38:01,140
I always end up talking food
at least once during the show.
746
,580 --> 00:38:05,490
Uh, but first question, what
is your favorite comfort food?
747
,500 --> 00:38:06,540
That one thing you dislike.
748
,875 --> 00:38:09,935
When you're having a great day, a bad day,
but it's always a solid choice for you.
749
,195 --> 00:38:10,965
David Arquette: Oh, man.
750
,175 --> 00:38:16,655
Um, well, they have barbecue here in
Tennessee that's really exceptional.
751
,655 --> 00:38:18,405
I love cooking barbecue.
752
,865 --> 00:38:21,625
Homemade meals are really wonderful.
753
,135 --> 00:38:25,560
And, um, A good chicken
pot pie, you can't beat.
754
,600 --> 00:38:28,220
Marc Preston: Oh, I love
a good chicken pot pie.
755
,580 --> 00:38:30,480
Even a not good chicken
pot pie is still good.
756
,650 --> 00:38:32,970
You know, but, uh, that
and chicken fried steak.
757
,290 --> 00:38:33,570
Yeah.
758
,830 --> 00:38:34,880
I love that too.
759
,070 --> 00:38:37,260
Now, the next question I got for you,
if you're going to sit down three
760
,260 --> 00:38:41,340
people, you're going to talk story
for a few hours, uh, living or not.
761
,800 --> 00:38:46,000
Who would three people be you'd like to
sit down with and just kind of share,
762
,000 --> 00:38:47,660
learn, just chat with for a while.
763
,290 --> 00:38:48,990
David Arquette: Definitely.
764
,990 --> 00:38:51,940
It would be Paul Reubens, Alexis Arquette.
765
,820 --> 00:38:57,550
And Luke Perry, just get all my
dearest friends back together and
766
,550 --> 00:39:01,090
just sit back and just hang out again.
767
,240 --> 00:39:01,860
Marc Preston: Paul Rubens.
768
,860 --> 00:39:03,030
I am so envious.
769
,200 --> 00:39:06,980
Everybody I know that has
interacted with him was just like,
770
,980 --> 00:39:08,280
he's just a sweetheart of a guy.
771
,430 --> 00:39:10,330
Talent is super talented
and smart as well.
772
,360 --> 00:39:13,020
You know, that sounds like a
fun coffee without a doubt.
773
,020 --> 00:39:16,390
But now the next question,
celebrity crush, who was your first
774
,390 --> 00:39:18,100
celebrity crush when you were young?
775
,355 --> 00:39:20,005
David Arquette: I think
it was Miss Elizabeth.
776
,005 --> 00:39:20,745
I'm not kidding.
777
,475 --> 00:39:26,675
I think it was Miss Elizabeth
from Macho Man just because, uh,
778
,705 --> 00:39:28,535
my wife looks just like hers.
779
,215 --> 00:39:31,295
Marc Preston: Now does your wife
know about this connection though?
780
,325 --> 00:39:32,255
Did you explain to her?
781
,255 --> 00:39:33,725
It's like, Hey, you look
like Miss Elizabeth.
782
,905 --> 00:39:34,815
Have you ever mentioned that to her?
783
,815 --> 00:39:35,085
Yes,
784
,085 --> 00:39:35,495
David Arquette: she does.
785
,495 --> 00:39:37,134
She does.
786
,135 --> 00:39:41,035
There's a fun thing we do in, uh,
you cannot kill David Arquette,
787
,035 --> 00:39:42,355
the documentary that you.
788
,565 --> 00:39:43,915
We kind of explore that.
789
,975 --> 00:39:44,565
Marc Preston: Awesome.
790
,675 --> 00:39:45,335
I do want to watch.
791
,345 --> 00:39:47,375
I tried to find, I can't find
where it's streaming right now.
792
,375 --> 00:39:48,265
I wanted to watch it though.
793
,265 --> 00:39:50,805
So I got to get onto Roku
and do some digging around.
794
,345 --> 00:39:52,255
Now, next question.
795
,255 --> 00:39:54,965
If you're going to be living
on an Island for a year, uh,
796
,965 --> 00:39:55,775
it's somewhere you want to be.
797
,775 --> 00:39:56,375
It's beautiful.
798
,375 --> 00:39:56,915
It's exotic.
799
,915 --> 00:39:58,395
It's spot on, but no internet.
800
,545 --> 00:39:58,875
All right.
801
,875 --> 00:40:03,385
So you got to bring a DVD of a
movie and you got to bring a CD.
802
,415 --> 00:40:06,975
I'll even say box set if you want
to, what would that movie and what
803
,975 --> 00:40:09,625
would that album be that you would
bring with you for that year?
804
,875 --> 00:40:17,525
David Arquette: Um, I don't know, I
mean, I always say like Godfather 2 is
805
,535 --> 00:40:19,835
like probably one of my favorite movies.
806
,695 --> 00:40:25,735
But if I was just like having to sit
and watch it over and over again,
807
,055 --> 00:40:27,555
I'm going to go back to Paul Rubens.
808
,565 --> 00:40:31,455
He used to always play That's
Entertainment, which is like a box set.
809
,015 --> 00:40:35,765
So you could kind of get all
these different experiences.
810
,625 --> 00:40:37,075
I don't know.
811
,075 --> 00:40:40,775
I know that sounds like a silly thing,
but Paul's on my mind a lot right now.
812
,775 --> 00:40:41,264
You know
813
,265 --> 00:40:43,405
Marc Preston: what just popped
into my mind just now is, uh,
814
,475 --> 00:40:45,095
everybody remembers Pee wee.
815
,265 --> 00:40:47,555
But my first experience was
a Cheech and Chong movie.
816
,570 --> 00:40:50,470
That was my first time ever seeing him.
817
,470 --> 00:40:54,370
So seeing him as Pee wee was like,
wait, I was way too young to be watching
818
,370 --> 00:40:55,820
Cheech and Chong movies, but I loved
819
,820 --> 00:41:01,209
David Arquette: it.
820
,570 --> 00:41:05,340
Just to give you a wild movie that people
should check out if they haven't seen.
821
,970 --> 00:41:09,920
The world, according to Garp, really
like touched me, like when I was
822
,920 --> 00:41:13,710
younger and saw it, it was just like
a really impactful kind of movie.
823
,750 --> 00:41:14,540
Robin Williams.
824
,550 --> 00:41:15,030
Yeah.
825
,030 --> 00:41:16,320
He was just so brilliant.
826
,320 --> 00:41:18,420
And John Lithgow's character as well.
827
,780 --> 00:41:18,980
Marc Preston: Yeah.
828
,980 --> 00:41:21,570
I kind of, I kind of identified
with him a little bit in that film.
829
,750 --> 00:41:24,080
Cause as I was young, when I saw it,
I was like, this guy's, you know, he's
830
,080 --> 00:41:27,070
trying to figure life out basically,
you know, from his own perspective.
831
,180 --> 00:41:27,740
David Arquette: Yeah.
832
,740 --> 00:41:30,740
Marc Preston: Now, as far as album
music goes, what would that be for you?
833
,010 --> 00:41:31,710
David Arquette: Oh, man.
834
,720 --> 00:41:35,105
I, uh, Um, I've really been
into the Beatles lately.
835
,335 --> 00:41:38,675
Marc Preston: I think, I think anything
box of Beatles would take care of it.
836
,695 --> 00:41:40,285
That would square you
away for the whole year.
837
,305 --> 00:41:41,515
Cause you could listen to
it over and over again.
838
,125 --> 00:41:45,405
Um, now the next question, if you
were to go from the time you get up
839
,405 --> 00:41:48,945
in the morning, so the time you go
to sleep, what would be the component
840
,995 --> 00:41:51,155
parts of a perfect day for you?
841
,325 --> 00:41:54,185
You know, everything's just kind of
landed just the way you wanted it to.
842
,655 --> 00:41:56,055
David Arquette: Um, I would.
843
,925 --> 00:41:59,665
Um, I don't know.
844
,665 --> 00:42:04,235
I'd sleep in, I'd wake up,
hang out with my family.
845
,905 --> 00:42:12,205
No art, like, no like screaming, just
like laughing and having good times.
846
,905 --> 00:42:14,735
Hang out with some animals.
847
,215 --> 00:42:21,395
Uh, maybe play some golf,
uh, tend to a garden.
848
,095 --> 00:42:25,515
Uh, meet some friends for lunch.
849
,365 --> 00:42:32,095
Uh, you know, hang out with the
kids again and play some games.
850
,135 --> 00:42:35,055
Maybe play some basketball
with some friends.
851
,965 --> 00:42:40,325
You know, have a nice dinner,
spend some time with my wife.
852
,455 --> 00:42:43,435
Get to bed early.
853
,725 --> 00:42:46,475
Marc Preston: You know, I like
the idea when you get up, you
854
,475 --> 00:42:48,505
don't have to immediately rush
and go get something done.
855
,505 --> 00:42:49,835
You can kind of ease into your day.
856
,835 --> 00:42:51,025
I've always liked that idea.
857
,405 --> 00:42:56,255
Uh, it's a luxury a lot of times, you
know, now, if, if you weren't doing this
858
,255 --> 00:42:58,135
for a living, what would bring you joy?
859
,185 --> 00:43:00,295
What other vocation could
you find yourself down to?
860
,295 --> 00:43:02,875
Granted, you're, you're, you're,
you're not just an actor.
861
,875 --> 00:43:05,105
You've done a lot of different
things, but what could you find
862
,125 --> 00:43:06,805
being, okay, this is my primary gig.
863
,815 --> 00:43:09,145
This is, this is what
I'm going to be doing.
864
,365 --> 00:43:10,755
What would it be besides this
865
,805 --> 00:43:16,065
David Arquette: ideal of art and doing
art, like the act of painting or doing
866
,065 --> 00:43:21,355
art is something I could get lost in and
just have fun to, I mean, if I'd have
867
,355 --> 00:43:26,085
to make money from it, there's all those
elements of making money and having to,
868
,805 --> 00:43:33,265
you know, play that game and, you know,
you know, put on a show and all that kind
869
,265 --> 00:43:35,085
of stuff that goes into stuff like that.
870
,125 --> 00:43:43,375
Uh, I guess I could play that game,
but probably art in some form or music.
871
,805 --> 00:43:44,205
Yeah.
872
,475 --> 00:43:45,765
Marc Preston: Now, last question.
873
,765 --> 00:43:49,245
If you were to jump into the DeLorean
and do a little travel back in time,
874
,245 --> 00:43:53,205
16 year old you, what would that one
piece of advice be that you would give
875
,205 --> 00:43:58,425
you for that moment to make things a
little easier on you or to kind of set
876
,425 --> 00:43:59,885
you up on a, on a little different path?
877
,905 --> 00:44:01,835
Just a piece of advice to 16 year old you.
878
,935 --> 00:44:03,515
David Arquette: Um,
879
,465 --> 00:44:06,835
I don't know.
880
,795 --> 00:44:12,755
I'd have a lot of advice if I could talk
to myself, just to believe in yourself,
881
,765 --> 00:44:14,815
you know, don't be too hard on yourself.
882
,470 --> 00:44:22,190
Um, really be in the moment, like, take
in the really wonderful moments in life.
883
,980 --> 00:44:30,190
Uh, really cherish your friends and family
and, uh, respect, uh, the relationships.
884
,190 --> 00:44:35,640
And, um, you know, spend time
on the things that you love.
885
,000 --> 00:44:37,374
You know, that's really what we do.
886
,575 --> 00:44:41,875
It's really important because you
end up, uh, doing that for a living.
887
,875 --> 00:44:45,845
You end up, you know, you know,
finding happiness and joy through that.
888
,645 --> 00:44:50,175
So, uh, that's what I would
always tell my younger self.
889
,915 --> 00:44:52,765
Marc Preston: All right, there you go.
890
,775 --> 00:44:55,875
David Arquette really
enjoyed this conversation.
891
,875 --> 00:44:57,025
Such a talented guy.
892
,255 --> 00:44:59,965
Uh, by the way, we got to
the answer of the seventh.
893
,055 --> 00:45:01,755
Question of my seven questions.
894
,755 --> 00:45:03,985
Then click the connection just dropped.
895
,005 --> 00:45:08,315
He shot me a DM over the socials
and let me know that it was his in
896
,315 --> 00:45:11,055
that dropped and he felt bad and
I didn't see a reason to have him
897
,055 --> 00:45:13,255
come back on just to say goodbye.
898
,265 --> 00:45:14,625
So very gracious.
899
,645 --> 00:45:15,215

David Arquette
Actor
The youngest of five, David Arquette was born in Winchester, Virginia and is part of the illustrious Arquette family, whose work has spread over several generations. His parents, Lewis Arquette, an actor, and Brenda Denaut (née Nowak), an acting teacher and therapist, had 4 other children: Rosanna Arquette, Richmond Arquette, Patricia Arquette, and Alexis Arquette, all actors. His paternal grandfather, Cliff Arquette, was also an entertainer. David's mother was from an Ashkenazi Jewish family (from Poland and Russia), while David's father had French-Canadian, Swiss-German, and English ancestry.
Like his siblings, Arquette started working at an early age, and his first major role came as Luke Perry's character's best friend in the hit film Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But his major break both personally and professionally didn't come until 1996 when he was cast in the slasher flick Scream starring opposite close friend Drew Barrymore, Neve Campbell and more importantly Friends, with Courteney Cox who he married in San Francisco in the summer of 1999. Scream earned worldwide success and acclaim as did Arquette for his role as lovable simple cop "Dewey". His role proved to be so popular that in the original script his character was meant to die, but due to test audiences response to Dewey the script was changed and he returned for both Scream 2 and Scream 3. Usually known for his goofiness in more mainstream roles, his greatest performances and reviews have come for his indie films such as Johns, Dream with the Fishes and The Grey Zone. David and wife Courteney Cox reside in LA and produce their own DIY show Mix It Up because of their love for home improvement.
