Acting is a family affair for the Arquettes. Now, they’re being recognized for it.

The Arquette family — which includes actors Clifford, Lewis, Rosanna, Richmond, Patricia, Alexis and David — will be honored with the American Film Institute’s sixth Platinum Circle Award, said Carole Mitchell, president of AFI Associates, a fundraising branch of the organization.

Family members Courteney Cox and Thomas Jane will also be recognized as part of the award for creative contributions to film and television.

The award, along with posthumous tributes to Clifford and Lewis Arquette, will be presented during a May 10 luncheon at the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel.

Past recipients include the Penn family, the Fonda family and Walter, Carol and Charles Matthau.
