His interests lay in writing, especially in writing mockumentaries. That interest and passion led him to write and produce a parody of the Scorcrese film, The Color of Money. This gained the attention of Saturday Night Live, where he was offered to work as a writer and then performer. Following his time at SNL, Stiller has acted in, and directed several shows and films.
