New York City, New York, USA:
Ben Stiller ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler, der vordergründig in Komödien, wie Verrückt nach Mary, der Meine Braut, ihr Vater und ich -Reihe oder auch in Nachts im Museum 1 und 2 die Hauptrolle übernimmt. Als Sohn des Komiker-Ehepaares Jerry Stiller und Anne Meara war Ben Stiller die Comedy nicht nur in die Wiege gelegt, sondern er wuchs auch quasi im Showbusiness auf. Neben der Schauspielerei ist Ben Stiller auch ein erfolgreicher Drehbuchautor, Filmregisseur und Produzent. Nicht selten übernimmt er bei seinen Filmen mindestens zwei, wenn nicht sogar alle vier Jobs. Ein Beispiel dafür ist der Film Tropic Thunder, der aus Stillers Feder stammte, in dem er an der Seite von Robert Downey Jr. und Jack Black die Hauptrolle spielte und in dem er als Produzent und Regisseur sagte, wo es lang geht. Die Komödie ist eine Satire der großen und teuren amerikanischen Kriegsfilme und verzeichnete weltweit große Erfolge. Ben Stiller ist sehr familienverbunden und so spielen immer wieder seine Mutter, sein Vater und auch seine Schwester Amy Stiller, alle drei selbst Schauspieler, in seinen Filmen mit. Anders herum hat Ben Stiller Gastauftritte an der Seite seiner Familie. So spielte er beispielsweise in der Comedy-Serie King of Queens, an der Seite von Jerry Stiller, den Vater seines eigenen Vaters.
