2: Actor and filmmaker BEN STILLER. He's the son of the comedy team, Stiller and Meara, (Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara). He's acted in the Lincoln Center's revival of "House of Blue Leaves," and appeared in the films, "Fresh Horses," "Stella," and "Empire of the Son." He's also made a number of comedy shorts that parody movies and television. He's got his own comedy show "The Ben Stiller Show," on FOX, which premiered last fall. The show grew out of his work as a writer-performer with "Saturday Night Live," in 1989. Stiller plays various roles ranging from an obnoxious Hollywood agent to an adult Eddie Munster. (REBROADCAST.
