Saturday Night Live (1989). On MTV, Stiller had his own show,
The Ben Stiller Show (1992). In the cinema, he had his breakthrough with the teen-angst opus
Reality Bites (1994) which he both directed and performed in. His first big-budget directing job was Jim Carrey's
The Cable Guy (1996).
There's Something About Mary (1998) propelled Stiller into the mainstream spotlight. He also starred in such hit movies as
Keeping the Faith (2000) and
Meet the Parents (2000).
American actor
Matt Dillon (1964) has had a successful film career that has spanned over three decades. From his breakthrough performance in Francis Coppola's
The Outsiders (1983) to his hilarious turn as an obsessed private investigator in
There's Something About Mary, he has proven himself to be one of the most diverse actors of his generation. Dillon showcased his wide range of dramatic and comedic talents with an arresting performance as a racist cop in the critically acclaimed
Crash (2004). It earned him nominations for an Oscar and other awards.
