Lee Arenberg maintains a flourishing acting career–almost 20 years spanning television, stage & film

Following his tremendously popular starring role as the bumbling yet intimidating pirate “Pintel” in Disney’s hugely successful PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, Arenberg has reprised his role in both the second and third installment of the franchise opposite Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly.  Arenberg also directed, wrote and stars in his own PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN DVD featurette, DIARY OF A PIRATE, for Disney and has recently been tapped to shoot sequel featurette’s for the forthcoming franchise.

Arenberg can also be seen in the role of the notoriously arrogant studio head, “Bobby G.”, in the controversial syndicated FOX comedy ACTION opposite series star Jay Mohr and Ileana Douglas.

Arenberg has appeared in more than 30 movies, including Cradle Will Rock, RoboCop 3, Waterworld, Bob Roberts, The Apocalypse, the fantasy adventure feature Dungeons & Dragons and has worked with such stars as Johnny Depp, Susan Sarandon, Jeremy Irons, Kevin Costner, Bill Murray, John Cusack and Tim Robbins.

A native Angeleno, Lee attended Santa Monica high school with "brat packers" Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr. and Emilio Estevez, and co-wrote a play with Estevez which was directed by Penn. Arenberg found success early in his career playing scene-stealing roles in such famous TV shows  like SEINFELD, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, as well as roles on ARLI$$, FRIENDS and STAR TREK.  The Actors' Gang was founded by Lee in 1981 with Tim Robbins and other friends from UCLA. After 20 years as an actor in the group, Lee recently made his writing and directing debut with Foursome. He is involved with St. Jude's Children's Hospital and other children's health causes, animal rights organizations, and participates regularly in fund raising efforts on behalf of those charitable causes.
