Beginning career

He landed a role in the Broadway revival of John Guare's "The House of Blue Leaves", alongside John Mahoney; the production would garner four Tony Awards. During its run, Stiller produced a satirical mockumentary whose principal was fellow actor Mahoney. His comedic work was so well received by the cast and crew of the play that he followed up with a 10 minute short called "The Hustler of Money", a parody of the Martin Scorsese film "The Color of Money". The film featured him in a send-up of Tom Cruise's character and Mahoney in the Paul Newman role, only this time as a bowling hustler instead of a pool shark. The short got the attention of "Saturday Night Live", which aired it in 1987, and two years later offered him a spot as a writer. In the meantime, he also had a bit part in Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun".

In 1989, Stiller wrote and appeared on a season of "Saturday Night Live" as a featured performer. However, since the show did not want him to make more short films for the show, he left after five shows. He then put together "Elvis Stories", a short film about a fictitious tabloid focused on recent sightings of Elvis Presley. The film starred friends and co-stars John Cusack, Jeremy Piven, Mike Myers, Andy Dick, and Jeff Kahn. The film was considered a success, and led him to develop another film entitled "Back to Brooklyn" for MTV, a music video cable television network.

"The Ben Stiller Show"

MTV was so impressed with "Back to Brooklyn" that they offered producer Jim Jones and director Stiller's No Puzzle Productions a 13-episode show in the experimental "vid-com" format. Entitled "The Ben Stiller Show", this series mixed comedy sketches with music videos. It was one of five such shows that MTV planned in this format, designed to take over after the end of the long run of "Remote Control".Fact|date=September 2008 The show parodied various television shows, music stars, and films. It starred Stiller, along with main writer Jeff Khan and Harry O'Reilly with occasional appearances by his parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, sister Amy Stiller, as well as cameos by Melina Kanakaredes, "Grandpa" Al Lewis, and the multitude of Club MTV dancers including Camille Donatacci, future wife of Kelsey Grammer. Notable were Stiller's impersonations of Tom Cruise, Al Pacino, and William Shatner, and the 1990 FOX lineup of shows including "Booker", "Alien Nation" and "Married with Children". This show was the proving ground for much of Stiller's earliest style development and new gag ideas.

Although the show was canceled after its first season, it led to another show entitled "The Ben Stiller Show" on the Fox Network in 1992. "The Ben Stiller Show" aired 12 episodes on FOX, with a 13th unaired episode broadcast by Comedy Central in a later revival. Among the principal writers on "The Ben Stiller Show" were Stiller and Judd Apatow, with the show featuring the ensemble cast of Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick, and Bob Odenkirk. Both Denise Richards and Jeanne Tripplehorn appeared as extras in various episodes. Throughout its short run, "The Ben Stiller Show" frequently appeared at the bottom of the ratings, even as it garnered critical acclaim and eventually won the Emmy for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Writing in a Variety or Music Program" after it was cancelled.cite web |work=TV.com |title=The Ben Stiller Show | url=http://www.tv.com/the-ben-stiller-show/show/981/summary.html | accessdate=December 20 | accessyear=2006]

Directorial debut

After a few minor film roles in the early 1990s, such as "Stella", "Highway to Hell", and a cameo in "The Nutt House", Stiller devoted his time to writing, fund raising, recruiting cast members, and directing "Reality Bites". The film was produced by Danny DeVito (who later directed Stiller's 2003 film "Duplex" and produced the 2004 film "Along Came Polly"). Stiller acted in the film, which was praised by some critics. He joined his parents in the family film "Heavyweights", in which he played two roles, and then had a brief uncredited role in Adam Sandler's "Happy Gilmore". Next, he had lead roles in "If Lucy Fell" and "Flirting with Disaster", before tackling his next directorial effort with "The Cable Guy" which starred Jim Carrey. Stiller once again was featured in his own film as twins. The film received mixed reviews, but was noted for being the film for which the highest salary was paid to a star for his work in just one film. Jim Carrey received $20 million for his work in the movie.cite web |work=Channel 4 Film |title=100 Greatest Movie Stars| url=http://www.channel4.com/film/newsfeatures/microsites/M/moviestars/results/results_50_46.jsp | accessdate=January 6 | accessyear=2007] The film also connected Stiller with future Frat Pack members Jack Black and Owen Wilson. Also in 1996, MTV invited Stiller to host the VH1 Fashion Awards. Along with SNL writer Drake Sather, Stiller developed a short film for the awards about a male model known as Derek Zoolander. It was so well received that Stiller developed another short film about the character for the 1997 VH1 Fashion Awards and finally remade the skit into a film.

Comedy career

In 1998, Stiller put aside his directing ambitions to star in "There's Something About Mary" alongside Cameron Diaz, which accelerated Stiller's acting career. That year he also starred in several dramas including "Zero Effect", "Your Friends & Neighbors", and "Permanent Midnight". Stiller was invited to take part in hosting the Music Video awards, for which he developed a parody of the Backstreet Boys and performed a sketch with his father, commenting on his current career. In 1999, he starred in three films, including "Mystery Men", where he played a superhero wannabe called Mr. Furious. He returned to directing with a new spoof television series for FOX entitled "Heat Vision and Jack", starring Jack Black, however, the show was not picked up by FOX after its pilot episode and the series was cancelled. 2000 would be a better year for Stiller as he starred in four more films including one of his most recognizable roles, as a male nurse named Greg Focker in "Meet the Parents" opposite Robert De Niro. MTV again invited him to make another short film and he developed "Mission: Improbable", a spoof of Tom Cruise's roles in the films "Risky Business", "Magnolia", "Cocktail", and "".

In 2001, Stiller would direct his third feature film, "Zoolander", which focused on the character Derek Zoolander (played by Stiller) that he developed for the VH1 Fashion Awards. The film featured multiple cameos from a variety of celebrities including Donald Trump, Paris Hilton, Lenny Kravitz, Heidi Klum, and David Bowie among others. The film was banned in Malaysia (as the plot centered on an assassination attempt of a Malaysian prime minister)cite web |work=Guardian Unlimited |title=Zoolander faces Malaysian censorship controversy |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2001/sep/28/filmcensorship.news |accessdate=January 6 |accessyear=2007] while shots of the World Trade Center were digitally removed and hidden for the film's release after the September 11 terrorist attacks.cite web |work=September Terror |title=Movies and the Second Day of Infamy |url=http://septterror.tripod.com/movies.html |accessdate=January 6 | accessyear=2007]

After Stiller invited Owen Wilson to star in "Zoolander", Wilson returned the favor and invited Stiller to play Chas Tenenbaum in "The Royal Tenenbaums". Over the next two years, Stiller continued with the lackluster box office film "Duplex" and several cameos in "Orange County" and "Nobody Knows Anything!". He also guest-starred on several television shows, including an appearance in an episode of the television series "King Of Queens" in a flashback as the father of the character Arthur (played by Jerry Stiller). He also made a guest appearance on World Wrestling Entertainment's WWE Raw.cite web |work=FindArticles.com |title=PPV's Cure for the Summertime Blues |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0DIZ/is_31_12/ai_64148060/pg_2 | accessdate=January 2 | accessyear=2007]
