Long before Stiller became known for his appearances on Seinfeld and The King of Queens, Stiller and Meara, were a top comedy act in the 1960s, appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show some 36 times. The pair were also members of the improv group the Compass Players, which later became Second City....

Stiller was born on June 8, 1927 in New York City. He graduated from Syracuse University with a B.S. in speech and drama, and he also studied drama at HB Studio in Greenwich Village.
