WILL ARNETT

Date of Birth: May 5, 1970

Will Arnett grew up in Toronto, Canada. Having decided on a career in show business, he moved to New York City, where he was a struggling actor who made his film debut in Close Up (1996), produced by New York's School of the Visual Arts.

Various roles in other small budget films followed before Arnett got his first break with a guest appearance on Sex and the City. A regular role on The Mike O’Malley Show brought him more recognition, and soon he was landing guest spots on shows such as Boston Public, The Sopranos, Will & Grace, Law & Order: SVU and The Third Watch.

In 2003, Arnett became a household name when he landed the regular role of unemployed magician George Oscar Bluth II on Fox TV's critically acclaimed show, Arrested Development. The breakthrough led him to starring roles in feature films such as R.V. (2006) with Robin Williams and Let's Go to Prison (2006) with Dax Shepard.

Arnett also appeared in the box office hit Blades of Glory (2007) with his wife, actress/Saturday Night Live star Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell and Jon Heder.

In his spare time, Arnett enjoys rooting on the Toronto Maple Leafs. He also collects hockey jerseys. Arnett divides his time between Los Angeles and New York, where he lives with his wife.
