Ben Stiller To Make Broadway Return

Ben Stiller is returning to Broadway for a new production of the play which launched his career.

The funnyman landed his first professional acting role in a 1986 revival of The House of Blue Leaves opposite Frasier star John Mahoney.

Stiller teamed up with his castmate to film a short satirical skit and his resulting comedy work landed him a job as a writer on Saturday Night Live, which helped propel him towards fame.
 
Stiller is now returning to his roots in a new production of The House of Blue Leaves with The Sopranos actress Edie Falco, playing a frustrated zookeeper who dreams of finding fame as a songwriter.
 
The show will open early next year (11).

Ben Stiller was last seen on the big screen earlier this year as he took on the title role in Greenberg, which was directed by Noah Baumbach.

And he will be back later this year as he reprises the role of Greg Focker for Little Fockers, which also sees Robert De Niro return to the franchise.

And while Stiller may bee looking at a return to the stage he still has movie projects Help Me Spread Goodness, Tower Heist and The Hardy Men in the pipeline.
