Ben Stiller was born on November 30, 1965, in New York, New York to famous comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. It's not astonishing that Ben Stiller has followed in his family's path. Ben's parents complete no real effort to keep their son absent from the Hollywood lifestyle and he grew up in the middle of the stars, wondering just why his parents were so popular. At a young age, he and his sister Amy Stiller would carry out plays at home, wearing Amy's tights to carry out Shakespeare. Ben also chosen up an attention in being on the other side of the camera and, at age 10 began gunfire films on his Super 8 camera. The plots were always simple: a big shot would pick on the shy, ill at ease Stiller...and then he would forever get his vengeance. This desire for vengeance on the well-liked, good-looking public may have aggravated his teen-angst opus Reality Bites(1994) later in his career. He both title for and performed in the film, which costarredWinona Ryder and Ethan Hawke.

While prepared on the play, Stiller shot a short spoof of The Color of Money (1986) starring him (in the Tom Cruise role) and his American Playhouse: The House of Blue Leaves (1987) costar John Mahoney (in the Paul Newman role).

The network was frightened and gave Stiller his own show, The Ben Stiller Show (1992). He recruited fellow offbeat comedians Janeane Garofalo and Andy Dick and created a acidly satirical show. MTV broken up transitory on it, but it was chosen up by Fox. Unfortunately, the show was a ratings miss. Stiller was almost right away out of work, though he did have the approval of option up an Emmy for the show after its annulment.

For a while, Ben had to resolve for guest look work. While he was responsibility this, he saved up his cash and in the end was clever to rub enough together to make Reality Bites (1994), now a cult typical which is looked upon positively by the age group it depicted. Ben sustained to work progressively for a occasion, particularly in self-governing productions where he was additional at ease. However, he never fairly managed to catch a big smash. His first big financial plan directing job was Jim Carrey's The Cable Guy (1996). Although many critics were frightened, Jim Carrey's fans were not.

In 1998, There's Something About Mary (1998) had propelled Ben into the normal spotlight. With his wince-inducing turn in the Farrelly brothers' gross-out film, Ben really "struck a nerve" with normal America. In new years, Ben has starred in such hit cinema as Keeping the Faith (2000) and Meet the Parents (2000).
