Though it was cancelled after one season, Fox picked up a second version of the Ben Stiller Show, which gained him the Emmy award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program. This second version of his show featured Judd Apatow, Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick and Bob Odenkirk. Ben’s comedic acting career took off due to his roles in There’s Something About Mary in 1998, Meet the Parents in in 2000 and Zoolander in 2001. Over the next decade, Ben had notable appearances in movies like The Royal Tenebaums, Along Came Polly and the Night at the Museum movies. In 2015, Ben announced that he and Owen Wilson are working on Zoolander 2. The film will feature a huge cast, including Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig.
