Arquette recently participated in the 2005 ESPN NFL Football Game where using artificial intelligence technology, he became a part of the game as himself, controlling his own team, competing against gamers and calling his own shots.

Arquette top-lined the successful comedies See Spot Run and Never Been Kissed. He became a household name by starring as Deputy Dewey in the Scream trilogy. Original plans called for Arquette's character to be killed off in the first installment but his scene stealing efforts assured Dewey's longevity in the subsequent installments. He received Blockbuster Awards for his roles in Never Been Kissed and Scream II. In 2002, he starred in Eight Legged Freaks for producers Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin.

Discovered at Sundance for his role in Johns in 1997, Arquette has been involved as both actor and producer in five films that have made their debut at the same prestigious Film Festival.
