Ben Stiller’s Greenberg

URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/hollywoodjew/item/ben_stillers_greenberg_the_self-loathing_jew_20100315

Before the “Night at the Museum” and “Meet the Parents” franchises made Ben Stiller one of the biggest comic superstars of his generation, the actor played the dramatic lead in a riveting independent film, “Permanent Midnight,” based on Jerry Stahl’s memoir of battling drug addiction while working as a television writer. At the time, Stiller told me he was drawn to "Permanent Midnight" because, like Stahl, he considered himself "funny and Jewish and not particularly confident or comfortable" in his own skin.
