Ben Stiller | Son of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara

Benjamin Edward Meara Stiller, or more formally known as Ben Stiller, is one of the funniest comedians of our time. It’s like he has comedy running through his veins like electricity, and he does! His parents are none other than Gerald “Jerry” Stiller and Anne Meara, two parts of the 60’s comedy team Stiller and Meara. Jerry made a late comeback, which started in his role in Seinfeld and continued in The King of Queens. Anne, on the other hand, had expanded her reach to TV, stage, film, writing, and video.

After following in his parents’ footsteps, he has received multiple awards throughout the entirety of his career.
