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.
Before he
even got his start in Hollywood
Ben
completes his big monitor debut in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun (1987)
in 1987. Demonstrating early on the many-sided tone his career would get, he
soon stepped at the back the camera to direct Back to Brooklyn

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 America
