Biography
Biography
Arnott also appeared as "Cal Evans" in the 1995 UPN sitcom Pig Sty. He also appeared in a 1992 television remake of the classic film, Christmas in Connecticut directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. This gives Arnott the probably unique distinction of both having written for, and having been directed by Schwarzenegger. David is also a board game enthusiast, and can be seen on GameNight!, a YouTube web series in which he and 2-4 other participants play different designer board games.
