His family moved out to L.A. (Hollywood) closer to where work could be had for Lewis and because of Roseannas career pursuits. Having been born and raised in So Calif LA myself I know that the area in which they lived was just a couple of streets away from the red light district where many of what society considers the 'dregs' of humanity hung out. I can relate well. I come from the same backround and my upbringing involved having the priviledge of rubbing elbows with the rich and famous as well as mingling among the drug addicted and impoverished. This has a great deal to do with my pursuits in a career in Psychology as much as this upbringing would have effected Davids grasp of humanity in tapping into the character of each of the many roles he has taken. Quite frankly I have not seen Davids movie 'Johns', in particular, because I know it would just hit home too hard with me and I'd end up upset and in tears throughout the movie. I'm grateful for the experience and the compassion for all people it has taught me....and it has obviously served Mr. Arquette well in his acting pursuits.

While in L.A. David attended Fairfax highschool. I am not for certain but I suspect that is where he learned to play trumpet. It was where he had his first acting experience. His sisters had been encouraging him to act proabably to try to divert him from vandalizing buses with Graffitti but untill he assumed there was money involved he didn't pay them much mind.



Davids extracuricular activities

It was his first play "The Seventh Son" Some girls came up to him and asked him to be in the play, they had told him some other guy was paid for it at another school. He auditioned and won a part. At the close of the final show he went up to his teacher - Ben DeBaldo - and asked for his pay. Mr. D. explained to David that students weren't paid for school plays. David wasn't happy, and came back upset. Mr D. gave in to his request for $'s for services rendered with a $100 check. Having been employed as a public school teacher myself at one time, $100 is hard to come by even today 'groan' BUT when David became an acting success in showbiz he went back to that teacher, paid him back plus something more.

Lifes events brought David to Courteney Cox in their working on the Scream Trilogy together. It was there they met and fell in love. David was counseled by Wes Craven not to pass on such a wonderful catch. Pic from "Scream" David took his advice and proposed to Courteney on vacation with her family in Florida by hiring a barge full of fireworks, waiting untill they began to explode and popped the question. Fortunately for David, Miss Courteney said, "Yes". In June of 1999 David wed Courteney Cox at Grace Cathedral in San Fransisco, California.
