Ben Stiller Relied On Some Family Ties To Cast Christopher Walken In Severance
Writing this, I realize this story might be quite divisive. Those who dislike the unfair, nepotistic hiring practices that plague Hollywood may not be so happy to read this. For fans of nepotism, buckle up, you're in for a fun ride!
"Severance" proved itself to be one of the must-watch shows of 2022. A fantastic blend of tense, thrilling drama and sharp humor, the show with many episodes directed by Ben Stiller showed that Stiller was capable of much more than his usual goofy comedy. The show also featured a fantastic ensemble cast, including Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, and even legendary actor Christopher Walken. But how did they get an actor as huge as Walken to agree to a main cast role on a TV show?
Well, I hate to break this news to some of you nepotism haters, but it turns out Ben Stiller's father was actually quite famous.
