Ben Stiller 1965-
Ben Stiller was born on November 30, 1965, in New York, to legendary comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. It's not surprising that Ben Stiller has followed in his family's footsteps. Ben's parents made no real effort to keep their son away from the Hollywood lifestyle and he grew up among the stars, wondering just why his parents were so popular.
Ben made his big screen début in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun (1987) in 1987. Demonstrating early on the multifaceted tone his career would take, he soon stepped behind the camera to direct Back to Brooklyn for MTV.
His first big budget directing job was Jim Carrey's 'The Cable Guy' (1996).
In 1998, 'There's Something About Mary' (1998) had propelled Ben into the mainstream spotlight. With his wince-inducing turn in the Farrelly brothers' gross-out film, Ben really "struck a nerve" with mainstream America. In recent years, Ben has starred in such hit movies as 'Keeping the Faith' (2000) and 'Meet the Parents' (2000).'Night at the Museum' (2006). His latest is 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', a remake of the Danny Kaye version.
