Mike Myers and Ben Stiller in a sketch from 1988 'Saturday Night Live'
There are not many actors who go on to become successful directors. Ben Stiller has somehow managed to pull off dual responsibilities in films like Zoolander and Tropic Thunder. Even though he's begun to focus more on directing high-caliber television series such as Severance and Escape from Dannemora, Stiller's resume is filled with interesting acting projects as well With this stacked list of credits, you would think that Stiller could tackle anything.
Stiller quit Saturday Night Live after just four episodes. He's not even the cast member with the shortest stint on the sketch comedy show , but Stiller confesses that SNL creator Lorne Michaels wasn't exactly thrilled with his departure. Stiller remembers," was like, 'Okay, Ben's going to do what Ben's going to do.' It wasn't great." It doesn't seem like Michaels held any kind of long-lasting grudge though.
Posts Ben Stiller Has Carved Out His Own Path as a Director Close The Ben Stiller Show ran for just one season before it was cancelled, but it did give him the skills necessary to direct films such as Reality Bites in 1994 and all of his subsequent projects. Even though Stiller realized he just wasn't cut out for live comedy, saying,"I just felt I couldn't do well in that situation," he has certainly been able to find his niche with directing.
