Ben Stiller was born on November 30,1965，in New York.He is the son of actor Jerry Stiller and actress Anne Meara.It’s not surprising that Ben Stiller has followed in his family’s footsteps.Ben’s parents made no real effort to keep their son away from the Hollywood lifestyle and he grew up among the stars.

In 1983，Ben attended the UCLA as a filmmaking student，but he left school after nine months with the aim of becoming a full­time actor.Then he performed in the Tony Award winner，The House of Blue Leaves(1985)．While working on the play，he shot a short The Color of Money.It was so funny that Lorne Michaels bought it and broadcast it on“Saturday Night Live”．

Ben made his big screen debut(初次露面)in Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun in 1987.He soon stepped behind the camera to direct Back to Brooklyn for MTV.The network was impressed and gave Stiller his own show，“The Ben Stiller Show”．Unfortunately，the show was not successful，and he was soon out of work.

For a while，Ben had to settle for guest appearance work.While he was doing this，he saved up his money to make Reality Bites(1994)．He both directed and performed in it.His first big budget(预算)directing job was Jim Carrey’s The Cable Guy(1996)．Although many reviewers were impressed，Jim Carrey’s fans were not.

In 1998，There’s Something About Mary had pushed Ben into the mainstream(主流的)spotlight.In recent years，Ben has starred in such hit movies as Keeping the Faith and Meet the Parents.

Ben is an expert in comedy，and he knows how to get down when he needs to，making him one of America’s most popular performers now.
