Ben Stiller: A deeply comic, deeply kind pain in the ass

摘要

Every comedian I know is a painrnin the ass. I've done movies with some of the best, and offscreen I enjoy their company a lot. Everything is played for laughs; nothing is sacred; it's all about them. But it's fun, so you live with their mishegoss.rnBen Stiller, whom I got to know on Meet the Parents, is different. Oh, he's still a pain in the ass-sometimes a total wacko-but he also has an old-fashioned sense of respect. (I don't mean in the Mafia sense, but yes, in that way too.) He has a quiet, intelligent side that I really appreciate.
