Ben Stiller: Mystery Men
built 237 days ago
The origins of Ben Stiller are still mostly clouded in mystery, mainly because no one cares enough to find out about them. He was probably either born or made but the possibility remains that he may be a by-product of the greenhouse effect. It is ... rumoured that he was raised by bears meaning he had to quickly develop high quality acting skills to avoid being eaten. This rumour is backed up by Stiller’s good tree climbing ability and his thick luxurious coat. See "The Early Days".

In 1983, after graduating from the Calhoun School in New York, Stiller headed west to attend the School of Theater, Film, and Television at the University of California, Los Angeles. He lasted only nine months. Eager to be out of the classroom and working in show business, Stiller returned to New York where he cut his teeth in theater. He worked as a busboy and waiter until 1986 when he won a small role in the Broadway play The House of Blue Leaves. The play featured veteran actor John Mahoney (1940–), who would later costar as Martin Crane in the long-running sitcom Frasier. During production, Stiller collaborated with Mahoney on a short film spoof of the 1986 drama The Color of Money, which is about an up-and-coming young pool shark and his older mentor.
