Guess the Nepo Baby from an Acting Dynasty and Iconic Comedic Father!

He hails from an acting dynasty and is the son of a beloved Hollywood couple. 

This 19-year-old has dabbled in acting as well, with roles in four different projects (all of which involve his father).

His parents, whose marriage survived a three-year breakup, even played love interests in the massive hit comedy Zoolander.

The acting bug clearly runs in his family, as his late grandparents are also famous stars.

On Wednesday night, this teen attended the premiere of his sister’s off-Broadway show Dilaria alongside their parents. 

Can you guess who this nepo baby is?

He’s the son of a beloved Hollywood couple who has followed his parents’ footsteps into the acting world

It’s Quinlin Dempsey Stiller, the 19-year-old son of Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor!

The famous actors attended the premiere of their daughter Ella Stiller’s off-Broadway play Dilaria on Wednesday and brought along Quinlin.

The trio proudly supported Ella on her big night as they posed up a storm together on the red carpet.

She costars with Emily Carey (HBO’s House of the Dragon) and Kaci Walfall (CW’s Naomi) in the show.

The director is Alex Keegan. 

The play follows Ella in the title role of Dilaria, ‘a rich, young girl who finds there’s nothing more powerful on social media than your classmate dying tragically young,’ according to a synopsis on Playbill.  

Both Ella and Quinlin come from showbiz legends. 

Not only are their parents Ben and Christine well-known, but their grandparents are also famous: grandpa is the late Jerry Stiller and his wife is the late Anne Meara.

Jerry and Anne were a comedy team in the 1960s called Stiller and Meara.

Quinlin’s acting resume contains just a few acting credits, and his father is in the cast for every project he’s taken on. 

His first-ever role was in the 2008 animated film Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, a movie which also starred his father.

Quinlin was just three at the time of the movie’s release and lent his voice to the role of Baby Alex.

Next was another voice acting role in the 2010 film Megamind, followed by an uncredited role as Child on London Bus in the 2014 flick Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.

His most recent role was in the 2021 comedy caper starring Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor, Locked Down, in which he played the son of his father’s character.

Like her brother, Ella has also pursued acting – and many of her projects somehow incorporate her father as well.  

Ella has already acted in the 2018 limited series Escape at Dannemora (directed by her dad), as well as three other projects which include her father in the cast – Adam Sandler’s 2020 hit Hubie Halloween, an uncredited appearance in 2014’s Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, and as a voice actor in 2010’s Megamind. 

She’s also appeared in two short films – and has another project coming up – however her father was not involved in those projects.

Ben and Christine have been married since 2000 but they split up in 2017 before reconciling in 2020. 

Earlier this year, Ben revealed his parent’s relationship motivated him to rekindle with Christine during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Despite recalling how his mother and father, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, butted heads during their 60-year marriage, the actor explained he was inspired by their commitment to one another to never lose hope on the possibility of reconciliation.

‘My dad was committed to turning their relationship into something that they could make a living doing a comedy act about,’ Stiller told The Hollywood Reporter. ‘And my mom didn’t really love that as much, but she was really good at it, and that affected their relationship.’

Quinlin and his sister both appeared in Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb, a movie which starred their father (pictured with Skyler Gisondo, Mizuo Peck, the late Robin Williams, and Rami Malek in the film)

Ultimately, Ben acknowledged he began to repeat some of his parents’ dynamics when it came to allowing his career impact his marriage.

‘You start making movies, and if they don’t go well, that would affect me,’ he said.

After he and Taylor called it quits following 17 years of marriage in 2017, Stiller said he didn’t expect them ‘to get back together.’

‘When we broke up, there was a part of me that wasn’t ready to just give up on it. Probably a certain amount of that is having watched my parents,’ he admitted. ‘And I love Christine, I love my family, and I was not ready to just go, “OK, enough of this.”‘

During their time apart, Ben and Taylor never never formally filed for divorce.

Ben’s parented stayed married from 1954 until her death in 2015. His dad passed five years later in 2020.

Although, at times, he still has to be ‘pulled from’ work, Ben insists he is more balanced now.

‘I also really love hanging out with my family and Christine and having fun together,’ he said. ‘So I’m happy that I didn’t totally miss the boat on that.’
