William Emerson "Will" Arnett (/ɑːrˈnɛt/; born May 4, 1970) is a Canadian actor. He is best known for his many comedic roles, including George Oscar Bluth II ("G.O.B.") in the Fox series Arrested Development and Devon Banks in the NBC series 30 Rock, for which he earned a combined five Emmy Award nominations. He also appeared in the IFC series The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, the NBC series Up All Night, and in the CBS series The Millers; and in films such as Monster-in-Law, Semi-Pro, Blades of Glory, RV, Hot Rod, Let's Go to Prison, The Brothers Solomon, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Arnett is also a voice actor for commercials, video games, television cartoons and animated films, and has lent his voice to The Simpsons, Ratatouille and The Lego Movie, as well as the titular character of Netflix's original animated series BoJack Horseman.
Arnett was born in Toronto, the son of Edith Alexandra "Alix" (née Palk) and Emerson James "Jim" Arnett, who was a corporate lawyer and brewer, among other occupations. His father and mother were originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba and he has roots on both sides of his family in Manitoba going back many generations. Arnett briefly attended Lakefield College School in Lakefield, Ontario, but was asked not to return after a semester for being a troublemaker. The Subway Academy II allowed him to take theatre classes at the Tarragon Theatre. He eventually graduated from Leaside High School and attended Concordia University, Montreal for one semester, but dropped out. As a teenager, he was encouraged by his mother to pursue an acting career, auditioned for commercials in Toronto and enjoyed acting. In 1990, he moved to New York City to study acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. He appeared in plays in New York and his first acting role was in Felicity Huffman's independent film Erie, which was filmed on the Erie Canal.

I'll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now
I'll be around from now on.
Your latest love
Can never last,
And when its past,
I'll be around when he's gone
Good-bye old friend,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Drop me a line to say that you're fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So I'll be around when he's gone.
Good-bye old friend,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Drop me a line to say that you're fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
