Amy Stiller, Ben's older sister, is also an actor.
. Ben and Christine have one daughter, Ella Olivia, born April 10, 2002. Walken also helped choreograph the dance. In May 2002, he married actress Christine Taylor, whom he met while filming a never-broadcast television pilot for Fox called Heat Vision and Jack, starring Jack Black. In this video, Walken performs a virtuoso tap dance around the lobby of the Marriott hotel in Los Angeles. During much of the 1990s, he was involved with actress Jeanne Tripplehorn. It won six MTV awards in 2001 and also won best video of all time in April 2002, in a list of the top 100 videos of all time, compiled from a survey of musicians, directors and music industry figures conducted by a UK music TV channel VH1.

This is generally considered to be artistic license. Spike Jonze has directed numerous other video clips and films such as Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. In the parody self-help book they co-authored, Feel This Book, he and frequent co-star Janeane Garofalo claimed they briefly dated. Weapon of Choice is a three minute video clip directed by Spike Jonze with music by Fatboy Slim. His directorial effort, 2001's Zoolander was well-received, showing he could be a bankable star both behind the camera as well as in front of it.
. Stiller directed both Reality Bites and The Cable Guy, to generally mixed reviews. Koons explains just how the watch had been hidden during long years in a prisoner of war camp.

The show also starred (and launched the careers of) his frequent collaborators Andy Dick, Janeane Garofalo, and Bob Odenkirk. This film, which has received many accolades, contains another frequently quoted cult scene with Walken scripted by Tarantino. Here Walken offers a slightly disturbing but nonethless amusing turn as a Vietnam veteran Captain Koons who in a long speech delivers a watch to a small boy from his dead father. The show lasted 12 episodes, but is considered by many to be one of the finest (if briefest) sketch comedy vehicles on television.
. He went on to host and perform in a self-titled comedy sketch show on MTV and then The Ben Stiller Show on the Fox Network in 1992. After an exchange of dialogue (penned by Quentin Tarantino) Walken's character, Sicilian gangster Vincenzo Coccotti, summarily executes Hopper's character after deliberate provocation by the latter. Stiller wrote and appeared on Saturday Night Live as a featured performer in 1990. This scene alone is the subject of four commentaries on the DVD attesting to its cult status.

He was born in New York, New York on November 30, 1965 and raised with frequent visits from his family's Hollywood friends. This so-called 'Sicilian scene' has become a cult favourite and is frequently hailed by critics - professional and amateur alike - as the best scene in the film. Stiller is son of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, who are both veteran comedians and actors. Walken plays a scene opposite Dennis Hopper in this film. He is possibly best known for his roles in the films Meet the Parents and There's Something About Mary.
. Ben Stiller (born November 30, 1965) is an American comedian, actor, and film director. Walken's otherworldly looks and his ability to play vulnerable damaged characters are put to good effect here.
