Ben Stiller has addressed speculation about whether he will act in his acclaimed series Severance, in which he takes on directing and producing roles. Accompanied by cast members Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, and Adam Scott, Stiller discussed his involvement on a recent appearance on This Morning. When co-host Ben Shephard inquired about Stiller’s feelings on not appearing onscreen, the comedy star expressed satisfaction, emphasizing his contentment with his behind-the-scenes responsibilities.
During the interview, Stiller cheerfully stated, “I am incredibly happy not to be in it,” adding that the cast comprises phenomenal actors. As both a producer and director, he admitted to having his hands full with his duties, joking that staying offscreen provides the added benefit of not having to shave daily, which elicited laughter from all.
While Adam Scott, who embodies the character Mark Scout, mentioned the cast’s desire to see Stiller take on a role in the third season, Stiller humorously noted his prior brief appearance, referring to a remote control and a voice cameo in the inaugural season.
The prospect of Ben Stiller appearing in front of the camera sparks excitement and curiosity among fans of Severance. His potential transition from director-producer to actor would undoubtedly add a unique dimension to the series. Meanwhile, his current satisfaction in crafting the show from behind the camera suggests a continued legacy of innovation and success.
