Born: March 20, 1950 in Washington, DC
Best Known For: A string of acclaimed performances.

He went on to study theology at Tufts University and acting at the Juilliard School.

His big break came a year later when he starred alongside Richard Crenna, Ted Danson and Kathleen Turner in Body Heat.

Ben Stiller (Actor) .. Seamus Spooner
Born: November 30, 1965 in New York
Best Known For: There's Something About Mary.
Early-life: Benjamin Edward Stiller was born on November 30, 1965, in New York, the son of comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. He grew up watching his parents on stage and meeting famous people - so it's little wonder he also went into showbusiness. His first efforts at film-making involved home-grown productions starring himself and actress sister Amy. After dropping out of university, Stiller began his career in theatre, and made his movie debut in Steven Spielberg's drama Empire of the Sun.
Career: While appearing in the award-winning play The House of Blue Leaves in 1989, he made a spoof version of The Color of Money. It was so funny that US satire revue Saturday Night Live bought it and offered Stiller a regular spot. But when he was given his own show it flopped. He then made ends meet with a series of guest roles on TV and saved enough money to make the film Reality Bites, which he both directed and starred in. He also directed Jim Carrey in The Cable Guy, but got his big acting break in 1998's There's Something About Mary. Since then, he's starred in films such as Meet the Parents, The Royal Tenenbaums, Zoolander and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. He has also appeared in Night at the Museum, its sequels and seemingly endless comedy hits.
Quote: 'If my parents were plumbers, who knows what I would be doing?'
Trivia: Stiller voices Alex the lion in the animated Madagascar films.
