Here's your fun Alabama fact of the day ⬇️
The conversation focused on his movie career, with Stiller telling stories about hits like “Along Came Polly,” “Heavyweights” and “Meet the Parents.” Redick asked him if the “DodgeBall” and “There’s Something About Mary” star remembered which movies where he bombed the auditions early in his career.
When asked which part, Stiller clarified the Mitchell Whitfield role of Stan Rothenstein, not Ralph Macchio’s part of Vinny’s cousin Bill Gambini. Redick’s cohost Tommy Alter asked Stiller to explain his definition of bombing. Redick then asked Stiller to describe the audition process, which the actor said has mostly shifted to a remote format because of the pandemic, wherein actors tape themselves or participate in Zoom callbacks. But in Stiller’s auditioning days in the early 1990s, actors would visit a casting director’s office, usually in Los Angeles or New York, where he and other actors would act opposite a reader in front of a video camera. “If you get a callback, maybe the director is there.
Stiller, also an accomplished filmmaker, also revealed he was in talks to direct “Good Will Hunting,” written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who would win the Oscar for best original screenplay. “I was like, ‘Who are these two guys, and why do they think they should be starring in their own movie?’” Stiller said, laughing. “I don’t think I even entertained it, because it was like, if I’m going to cast this thing, I’m going to pick my own actors.
