David Arquette, best known for his breakout role in Scream, revealed during an interview IndieWire to promote his new documentary You Cannot Kill David Arquette, in which the "seasoned" actor looks back on the wrestling fiasco that nearly ruined his career and what compelled him to return to the ring last year, that he recently auditioned for a Nickelodeon project! Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like the audition went well..
Early in You Cannot Kill David Arquette, Arquette reveals that he hasn't been getting the auditions he would of liked over the past decade. When asked what sort of roles he was chasing before he decided to get back in the ring, Arquette dished:
"The thing is, I’m just not a great auditioner. I get vibed out in the room and stuff. I have worked in those 10 years, but it’s mostly just from relationships with directors I know or someone who hired me from my previous work. I have a long career, so it’s sometimes crazy when someone has me come in for an audition," said Arquette.
"I put myself on tape recently for a Nickelodeon thing, and then they wanted me to try it again, and I was like, 'Gah! It’s a Nickelodeon thing! I mean, god bless you guys, but I’m not going to jump through hoops for it after being in the business as long as I have.' A lot of actors wouldn’t even audition for that, but I did. The way I look at it, my kids might be able to come to a set on a show that they like and realize that’s daddy’s job. But you have to make stuff like that happen for yourself."
So don't expect to see David Arquette on Nickelodeon anytime soon..
Arquette is no stranger to Nickelodeon, however, having previously voiced Mr. Jimmy in the network's early noughties animated series Pelswick. He has also had roles in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie and Muppets from Space.
You Cannot Kill David Arquette was scheduled to make its debut at SXSW 2020, however, this has now been canceled due to coronavirus.
