Young Stiller loved late nights on set

Ben Stiller decided to become an actor after visiting his dad on a film set as a youngster - and realising it meant he could stay up past his bedtime.

The 'Meet The Parents' star accompanied father Jerry Stiller as he filmed 'The Taking of Pelham One Two Three' in 1974.

And it was during one late night shoot that Stiller realised acting was his calling.

He said: "That was exciting for me as a kid, because I got to go on that set. I was like eight, nine years old and that was one of the things that made me want to shoot movies, they got to stay up all night doing night scenes.

"I just thought it was cool they got to stay up all night!"
