WILL ARNETT (The Missing Link) has been an extremely busy man of late. Arnett recently completed filming Jerry Bruckheimer’s “G-Force,” a combination live-action/CG film from Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films, opposite Penelope Cruz, Nicholas Cage and Steve Buscemi, which is slated for a July 2009 release. In addition, Arnett recently wrapped production on Walt Disney Pictures’ romantic comedy “When in Rome,” opposite Kristen Bell and Anjelica Huston. He will play a suitor who is aggressively trying to win the heart of a young girl (Bell) after she steals coins from a Roman fountain.
Arnett will soon return to television as well. He recently sealed a development deal with FOX, which will develop a comedy project for him to topline. Arnett will also provide a voice for FOX’s upcoming animated sitcom from creator Mitch Hurwitz, “Sit Down, Shut Up.”
Last year, Arnett was seen in the basketball comedy “Semi-Pro,” opposite Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson, and also lent his voice to the hugely successful animated comedy “Horton Hears a Who!” with Jim Carrey and Steve Carell. In 2007, he was seen opposite Will Ferrell and Arnett’s wife Amy Poehler in the figure skating comedy “Blades of Glory,” and also co-starred opposite Will Forte in “The Brothers Solomon.”
Arnett earned his first Emmy nomination in 2006 for his work on the critically acclaimed FOX sitcom “Arrested Development,” where he portrayed Gob Bluth for three seasons. From time to time, Arnett guest-stars on NBC’s “30 Rock,” playing Devon Banks. This year, he earned his second Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for this role.
Before “Arrested Development,” Arnett was a regular on the NBC comedy series “The Mike O’Malley Show.” His additional television credits include guest-starring roles on “Sex and the City,” “The Sopranos,” “Boston Public,” “Third Watch” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” Arnett also appeared on NBC’s “Will & Grace,” playing Jack’s dance nemesis while auditioning to become a backup dancer for Janet Jackson.
Arnett’s other feature credits include “Ice Age 2: The Meltdown,” “R.V.” (opposite Robin Williams), “Monster-in-Law,” “The Waiting Game,” “The Broken Giant,” “Southie” and “Ed’s Next Move.” Additionally, he can be heard in a variety of commercials, most notably as the voice of GMC trucks.
Arnett currently resides in New York, where he lives with his wife and son.

Monsters vs. Aliens Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Kiefer Sutherland, Rainn Wilson, Paul Rudd
When California girl Susan Murphy (REESE WITHERSPOON) is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. The military jumps into action and Susan is captured and put into a secret government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and held along with a ragtag group of Monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (HUGH LAURIE); the macho half-ape, half-fish, The Missing Link (WILL ARNETT); the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B. (SETH ROGEN); and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President (STEPHEN COLBERT) is persuaded to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the alien robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
Other stars in this out-of-this-world ensemble include RAINN WILSON as Gallaxhar, the megalomaniac responsible for the alien robots and looking to replicate a new world in his own image; KIEFER SUTHERLAND as General W.R. Monger, an armed forces lifer who’s finally found a use for his collection of detained Monsters…battling the alien invader; and PAUL RUDD as Derek Dietl, Susan’s selfish fiancé, who has outgrown his current weatherman position and aspires to network news greatness.
