Follow Now Arrested Development ran from 2003-2006, delivering a hilarious five seasons. Arrested Development cast included Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, Jessica Walter, Jeffrey Tambor, Did Cross, Tony Hale, Alia Shawkat, and Michael Cera. Each main cast of Arrested Development recieved a whopping $125,000 per episode.

Let’s face it, no family is dysfunctional quite like the Bluths. The cult classic sitcom, Arrested Development, first aired in 2003 and redefined the chaotic comedy with its mix of zany characters and absurdly tangled storyline. From a banana stand with “always money in it” to endless chicken dances, the show has given us unforgettable moments and a memorable cast that felt more like a bizarrely entertaining extended family than fictional characters.

Leading the madness was Jason Bateman as Michael Bluth, the so-called “responsible” one trying to hold his trainwreck of a family together. Then there’s Will Arnett as Gob, the magician with an ego bigger than his tricks, and Portia de Rossi as Lindsay, the ultra-glamorous activist with questionable motives.

At the same time, Jeffrey Tamnor doubled down as George Sr. and his twin brother Oscar. And who can forget Michael Cera as awkward teen George Michael, Alia Shawkat as Maeby, and Tony Hale as the iconic momma’s boy Buster?

After the OG Arrested Development run, Bateman showcased his acting prowess in big-screen comedy hits like Juno, Identity Thief, and Horrible Bosses.

However, the real breakthrough in his career came with Netflix’s Ozark. Who knew Bateman could nail the “mild-mannered financial planner laundering money from a Mexican drug cartel” vibe? Turns out, everyone who watched the show knew he crushed it, proving as he collected Emmy nods for his role as Marty Byrde. He even snagged an Emmy for directing the show’s second season because why not be great at everything, right?

And he’s not only just in front of the camera, Bateman has directed, produced, and even podcast these days, co-hosting SmartLess with Will Arnett and Sean Hayes.

Post-Arrested Development, Arnett put his signature grelly voice and comedic chops into work, landing the role of Lego Batman in The Lego Movie franchise.

Beyond acting, Arnett is a natural conversationalist, channeling his wit into SmartLess, a podcast he co-hosts with Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes.
