	Actors - Alexis Arquette

Alexis Arquette (born male on January 1, 1969 in Los Angeles, California) is a transgendered American actress, musician, L.A. area underground cartoonist, and drag performer who is part of a family of actors including siblings Patricia Arquette, David Arquette, Richmond Arquette and Rosanna Arquette, her father Lewis Arquette and her grandfather Cliff Arquette.

The least well known of her siblings, the majority of her film work has been limited to low-budget or independent films. These have included her critically acclaimed debut performance as male-to-female transsexual Georgette in Last Exit to Brooklyn
. She also appeared in I Think I Do, Children of the Corn V and Killer Drag Queens on Dope, among 40 other independent pictures.

Arquette has infrequently popped in quirky supporting roles in mainstream films, including Pulp Fiction
, Threesome
, Bride of Chucky
and a memorable appearance as a Boy George parody in The Wedding Singer
, singing Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? over and over. Arquette is well known in California for her drag persona "Eva Destruction", and she has also performed in low-budget pornographic films.

In September 2005 VH1 announced her casting in an upcoming season of the reality show The Surreal Life.

In 2004 Arquette expressed an interest in undergoing formal male-to-female transitioning by the use of hormone treatments and, ultimately, a sex reassignment surgery but this process has not been completed. Many of her roles and appearances in film and elsewhere were performed when she expressed a male identity.
