Los Angeles-born Ella Stiller, the daughter of actors Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, started her career in the 2010s with minor roles in her father’s hit films Megamind and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, before starring in Showtime TV mini-series Escape at Dannemora, and Adam Sandler's comedy Hubie Halloween.

Stiller, 23, discovered her love for theatre while at Juilliard School, where she starred in The Importance of Being Earnest, As You Like it, and The Cherry Orchard, before graduating in 2024. Following this, she made her Off-Broadway debut in the world premiere of Julia Randall’s play Dilaria, and stars in three episodes of HBO’s And Just Like That, set to air in July 2025. She will also be seen in Bobby Farrelly’s road trip comedy film Driver’s Ed, alongside Kumail Nanjiani, Molly Shannon and Sam Nivola, expected for release in 2026.
