I wanted to dedicate this page in the memory of my Uncle Lewis's career.

Born in Chicago on December 14, 1934, character actor Lewis Arquette was the son of Cliff Arquette, a comic actor who worked under the name Charley Weaver. A graduate of Hollywood High School, Arquette trained at the Actors Studio in New York and was a member of the famed Second City Improv troupe in Chicago. His performing skills included being a puppeteer, musician and comic. Among his TV characters were "J.D. Pickett" on The Waltons, and appliance salesman "Leapin' Larry" on Seinfeld. His big screen appearances included Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever and Tango and Cash . Lewis Arquette was the father of actors Rosanna, Patricia, Alexis, Richmond , and David Arquette.
