Ben Stiller, what a fine actor. But his career has been a sort of a mystery, man. After he shot to fame in the mid 90's with his starring turn in Happy Gilmore, Stiller had a huge, heavy weight lifted off his shoulder. He was finally a leading man. But, then reality bit. Stiller didn't catch a break until 1998, but that was merely because critics loved something about his costar. Now, she was MAGELLIN! During this time, his tv show was moved time-slots and into the midnight slot permanently. Meanwhile, in his personal life, Stiller was able to keep up with his faith and was a devoted family man to his family the Tenenbaums (Stiller is a stage name). In addition, he spent a lot of time on his farm home, where he tended to the animals.
Some personal tidbits on Stiller: he loved orange mocha frappuccinos, was good pals with Billy Zane (who's a good dude btw), befriended local tribesmen on a charitable mission in Madagascar (he did it too), and resided in Orange County (too local?). He moved into a duplex in New York City, where he had an envious neighbor (the J-MAN!!) who was into some sort of voodoo rain dance. Trust me, he did it!
Focusing back on Stiller's eclectic career, Stiller decided to take a break from the whole "acting" thang and went to work at a museum (he did it too), until the POLICIA! came and escorted him out. It's really a wonder he never went to prison. I'll tell you what I want, what I really wanted from Stiller at this point in his career, which was for Scorcher 7.
Now, Stiller has reclaimed his status as one of the elite actors in Hollywood after his courageous turn in his personal project film on arctic exploration and how lush green grass could grow on icebergs in frigid temperature, titled "Greenberg".
Hope you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes investigative report, that is all for now....
But seriously... why male models?????
I think he flirted with disaster his entire career at least until the cable guy fixed his cable
