As an extravagant comedy, Zoolander incorporated a cast of greats, including Will Ferrell and Christine Taylor, all under the direction of Ben Stiller himself. Whilst there are films that have only included...

In many of his other works, Stiller has played an energetic or emotional character, but playing Walter Mitty enabled him to demonstrate a more subdued ability, which was just as effective as any other part he had played.
