Above all else, however, David Arquette is not an individual who simply does things for a paycheck.
DAVID ARQUETTE: Its a fascinating story to me.
Two of the most corrupt cops in NYPD history.

He loves the whole world.
They’re all very authentic.
They know these guys.
They’ve been around this world, so I learned a lot just studying them and being around them.
My character’s sort of understated.
I get to play it down.
It was an interesting road to walk.
In my character’s mind, he was actually not a bad guy.
His partner just wanted fame.He ended up being an actor.
The funny thing is, they were really tight.
They lived in the same community when they moved to Las Vegas.
Their families grew up with each other.
They knew each other really well and were really friends.
So, that was an interesting sort of dynamic.
My character had kids, his character had kids.
It’s touchy, for sure.
Youre just approaching it from an actors point of view; you have to believe it yourself.
Why would this person do this?
You kind of have to put the pieces together, then you have to ground it.
The lesser of two evils is the way he looked at it, really.
That’s a really great, nuanced answer.
He hid his money.
He didn’t flash it around, but he bought these glasses.
He’d love to be a really highly decorated officer.
So there’s an element of that.
You know what I mean?
You could maybe see that with LA, but not NYPD.
I think there was also a little thing about the difference between cops and feds.
He’s kind of looking at me different.
I learned a lot from Bo and Joey Russo, another amazing actor in it.
Hes super authentic and really knows that world.
When you see wrestling now, do you feel like you’ve become something of a trailblazer?
ARQUETTE: [Laughs] I dont know.Ive never seen myself as a trailblazer.
That’s how I ended up working on Bozo the Clown and doing stuff like that.
I love the mob movies; that’s why I wanted to do a mob movie.
I love Westerns; that’s why I love doing Westerns.
There are just cool elements throughout that make the things you love a part of your life.
So that’s, for me, the goal.
I had to do it.
We’ve heard you’re coming back forScream 7, despite Deweys seemingly definitive end in the fifth movie.
ARQUETTE: I love playing the role of Dewey, and Id do anything for the fans.
I love the relationship it has with the fans.
Working with Kevin Williamson as a director was really amazing.
