ben stiller: funny?

An interesting article/interview with Ben Stiller in Parade magazine.

I think I used to like Ben Stiller a lot more. The Ben Stiller show was really funny and I like him in seriocomic stuff like Flirting with Disaster. But since then, I honestly can't say I'm a huge fan anymore. He seems to have perfected two characters: unlucky everyman who has bad things happen to him (There's Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, etc.) and the wacky incredibly shallow nutjob (Zoolander, Dodgeball, Heavyweights). Personally, I appreciate him more in the latter types of roles. I feel like other people are better in the former role and there's only so many times I can see him react to unfortunate situations.
