  • Introduction

    Jerry Stiller was an American comedian, actor, and author. His career began as part of the comedy duo Stiller and Meara ("Meara" was his wife, Anne Meara. They were married for over 60 years until her death in 2015.) Stiller saw a late-career resurgence starting in 1993, playing George Costanza's father Frank on the sitcom Seinfeld, a part which earned him an Emmy nomination. The year Seinfeld went off the air, Stiller began his role as the eccentric Arthur Spooner on the CBS comedy series The King of Queens, another role which garnered Stiller widespread acclaim. He was the father of actor Ben Stiller and father and son appeared together in films such as Zoolander, Heavyweights, Hot Pursuit, The Heartbreak Kid, and Zoolander 2. He also performed voice-over work for television and films including The Lion King 1½ and Planes: Fire and Rescue.
