There’s “something about Ben Stiller” and his infectious laughter. He’s also attached to something big! The actor, writer, producer, director has found his next TV project — both behind and in front of the camera.
The Band is set in the music industry and Stiller, will play Oscar, a “pop talent mogul beset by scandal who is tasked with forming a new act in order to save his career — and perhaps his soul,” per the show’s description. Should it go to series, The Band will be Stiller’s first ongoing TV acting role since he recurred on Arrested Development.
Most recently, Stiller has served as an executive producer and director for Apple TV+’s “Severance,” which is currently rolling its second season. He also served as an executive producer on “High Desert” and “In the Dark,” and is best known for starring in “Zoolander,” “Night at the Museum,” “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “Little Fockers” and “There’s Something About Mary,” among others. Hopefully Stiller will give us some of those “Blue Steel” looks!
