Has Ben Stiller ever acted in a serious movie?

He plays a heroin junkie in Permanent Midnight, and plays a lawyer in Next of Kin. He's also sort of a serious character in Reality Bites, and apparently he's in Empire of the Sun, so I'd imagine that's a serious role.

Ben Stiller acts?

I hate Ben Stiller!! He plays the same character in every movie! Stupid bumbing...idiot!!

Yes, his debut, actually. The movie is a comedy, but his role is not so much. The movie is called Hot Pursuit.

Yes, he played the role of the French police captain in Casablanca.

he played one with edward norton and geena elfman.he was playing the rabbine i thik and he was in love with elfman.elfman,norton and stiller were friends from childhood and thats the story.if anyone knows the title can help

your friends and Neighbours or The Royal Tenenbaums may be closest, or perhaps at that, that they had be seen darkly humourous. properly, The Royal Tenenbaums besides, i stumbled on YFAN purely depressing. i'm additionally after finding him up and finding something spoke of as everlasting midnight, the place he performed a drug addict. Seeing as no one has ever heard of it, drama probably isn't his element.

i love ben stiller. so what if he does the same thing...it makes me laugh. unlike george bush. he keeps doing the same stupid thing and americans seem to keep voting for him.
