John Saxon (actor)

Saxon has also appeared in many Italian films, mainly in the "Spaghetti Western" and police thriller genres. Amy Stiller, Ben's older sister, is also an actor. He appeared mostly in supporting roles, but was top-billed in his most famous film Enter the Dragon (1973), which actually starred Bruce Lee. Ben and Christine have one daughter, Ella Olivia, born April 10, 2002. In his early career, Saxon worked with many notable directors including Vincente Minnelli, Blake Edwards, John Huston, Frank Borzage, and Otto Preminger, but despite this, never developed into a major star. 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. He studied acting with famous acting coach Stella Adler and broke into films in the mid-50s, playing teenage roles. During much of the 1990s, he was involved with actress Jeanne Tripplehorn.

He was born Carmine Orrico the son of Antonio and Anna Orrico, in Brooklyn, New York. This is generally considered to be artistic license. John Saxon (born August 5, 1935) is an Italian-American actor. In the parody self-help book they co-authored, Feel This Book, he and frequent co-star Janeane Garofalo claimed they briefly dated. 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.

The show also starred (and launched the careers of) his frequent collaborators Andy Dick, Janeane Garofalo, and Bob Odenkirk. 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. Stiller wrote and appeared on Saturday Night Live as a featured performer in 1990.

He was born in New York, New York on November 30, 1965 and raised with frequent visits from his family's Hollywood friends. Stiller is son of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, who are both veteran comedians and actors. 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.
