Ben Stiller

Ben Stiller has replaced Russell Brand in the Hollywood remake of British children's TV series Rentaghost.
 
The Night at the Museum star will play the boss of a company which hires out ghosts.
 
The original series, which ran from the mid-1970s to 1984, featured British actors Michael Staniforth, Edward Brayshaw, Anthony Jackson and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star Michael Darbyshire.

And Stiller will be back on the big screen next month as he teams up with Eddie Murphy for new comedy Tower Heist.

The film is Stiller's firs since Little Focker but he has a series of movies in the pipeline including Neighbourhood Watch and lending his voice to Madagascar 3.
