American comedian and director, star of Zoolander — photos, style and news
Benjamin Edward “Ben” Stiller (born November 30, 1965) is an American comedian, actor, voice actor, screenwriter, film director, and producer. He is the son of veteran comedians and actors Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Throughout his career he has written, starred in, directed, and/or produced over 50 films, including Zoolander, There's Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, DodgeBall, Tropic Thunder, the Madagascar series, and Night at the Museum. Stiller is a member of the comedic acting brotherhood colloquially known as the Frat Pack. Apparel Search has selected Ben Stiller as a fashion celebrity, and singles out Zoolander as a favourite: a movie about fashion itself.
OK, we all now that Something About Mary was hilariously funny... However, here at the Apparel Search Company, we understand that Zoolander was the best movie Ben Stiller has ever made. What is better then a movie about fashion ? nothing.
Every directory has one profile that belongs to it by subject as well as by fame, and in the male section that profile is Stiller's. Zoolander is a comedy built inside the modelling industry — runway shows, male models, fashion houses — and it gives this guide its most direct meeting point between a filmography and fashion itself. The judgement recorded on this page is unqualified: There's Something About Mary was hilariously funny, but Zoolander is counted the best movie Ben Stiller has ever made, because nothing beats a movie about fashion. Few celebrity profiles anywhere carry their fashion connection inside the work itself rather than in the coverage around it.
The scale of the record behind the joke is easy to miss: over 50 films written, starred in, directed and/or produced, from the Reality Bites directorial debut through Meet the Parents, DodgeBall, Tropic Thunder, the Madagascar series and the Night at the Museum films, plus multiple cameos in music videos, television shows and films. This page gathers Ben Stiller photos, videos, news and blog posts through Bing, Google and YouTube search routes, filed in the B letter of the Male Fashion Celebrities A–G range alongside Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis.
Zoolander is a movie about fashion — a satire of the modelling world — which makes it a natural favourite for a fashion directory: as the guide puts it, what is better than a movie about fashion? Stiller wrote, starred in, directed and/or produced over 50 films, and Zoolander stands among them alongside There's Something About Mary and Tropic Thunder.
Stiller is a member of the comedic acting brotherhood colloquially known as the Frat Pack. His films include Meet the Parents, DodgeBall, the Madagascar series, Night at the Museum, and its sequel Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
