Biography
Some might say that writer/actor/director Ben Stiller's destiny was preordained: The son of comic actors Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, he almost literally has show business running through his veins. I saw Ben Stiller in Cable Guy, but I think the first time most people really noticed him was in There's Something About Mary. Born in New York City on November 30, 1965, Stiller was making films by the time he was ten.
