Stiller attended Seward Park High School in New York, but started working as a stage performer from the very early age of ten! He graduated with a major in speech and drama from the University of Syracuse in 1950, then joined the touring company of Peter Pan. Under the eye of director Billy Barnes, Stiller revealed his skills in the business of making people laugh, primarily in the classics and including Shakespearean creations; his off-Broadway debut was made in 1953 in a production of ‘Coriolanus’. Eventually he was paying homage to the Baird of Avon by being involved in world famous troupes at the Shakespeare festival. Stiller became one of the most versatile actors of his time.

At this time Jerry Stiller met his future wife and professional partner Anna Meara, and were paired often over the next two decades. In the early 70s, Stiller and Meara were engaged in a sitcom called “The Paul Lynde Show”, but it was not a success, and soon dropped from show time. Despite that failure, Jerry took part in a film called “Joe and Sons”. Afterward they got himselves into another show called “Archie Bunker’s Place”, which added considerably  to their reputation as comedians, and the duo didn’t have to look back after that.

Jerry also got himself into a team with his son, famous-to-be comedian Ben Stiller in projects like “Zoolander” and “Heavyweights”. Later the father-son duo continued leaving their footprints through “Hot Pursuit” and “The Heartbreak Kid”. These brought them huge success and bulked up Jerry’s bank account. His only daughter Amy Stiller has also followed her parents and brother’s footstep, emerging as a decent comedian. It is an easy prediction that TV shows: “The King of Queens”, in which he played the role of ‘Arthur Spooner’, and “Seinfeld” in the mid-90s were the main driving force behind his booming net worth. They also brought him significant popularity with audiences.

During late 90s, Jerry Stiller started exploring new possibilities by taking part in various TV commercials, the most remarkable of which is the Nike commercial in which he played the role of a coach of the Green Bay Packers American football team. In the field of motion pictures, this talented actor made his mark through “Zoolander” and “Secret of the Andes”.

The year 2007 was a landmark for both the comedian and his wife as they received the honor of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, high recognition of their contribution to the entertainment industry over many years.

In addition to acting, Jerry was involved in author Allen Salkin’s book “Festivus: The Holiday for the Rest of Us”, as he wrote the introduction.

When it comes to personal life, Jerry and Anna Meara were marries from 1953 until her passing in 2015 – they had the previously mentioned son and daughter, so can boast a family of successful actors. He is also known as a  strong supporter of animal rights.
