He has also been acclaimed for his roles in "Meet the Parents" and sequel "Meet the Fockers". In my opinion, he is very good as a physical comedian, similar to John Ritter. I enjoy most of his movies.
LDS_forever, you are thinking about Adam Sandler, who yes, has a dry, sense of humor. Ben Stiller, like I mentioned earlier, is very much into physical comedy. He was in 'Along came Polly', 'Zoolander' and 'Starsky and Hutch'.
