How does he change his appearance?


It’s interesting how Ben Stiller seems to be able to change his appearance between roles, and I don’t know how he does it. I mean he has his usual “meek guy” appearance in movies like Meet the Parents, Night at the Museum, etc., but then he has his “buffed-up macho” appearance in movies/shows like Heavyweights, Dodgeball, and Arrested Development. How is he able to go back and forth so seemlessly?

It's just acting. He "acts" at being beefier in some roles, then just goes back to "acting" slimline in others.

Just part of the craft...
