Judah Friedlander As Scrappy Zoolander
The final member of the Zoolander clan was played by one of the funniest and most vulgar actors. Judah Friedlander played Scrappy Zoolander and had minimal lines, his facial expressions gave us more than enough laughs.
While he ended up landing some other funny film roles, Friedlander’s big break was when he landed the role of Frank Rossitano in the sitcom 30 Rock. For all seven seasons of the show, Friedlander and the cast were nominated for Best Comedy Ensemble.
Jerry Stiller As Maury Ballstein
Yes, in case you didn’t know Jerry Stiller is indeed Ben Stiller’s father. But Ben didn’t just give his dad a role in the film out of pity. Jerry Stiller is a comedic genius who started out in Hollywood as a comedy duo with his wife, Anne Meara. The duo even had their own sitcom in the 1980s.
Aside from Zoolander, Jerry Stiller is best known for the role of Frank Costanza in Seinfeld and as Arthur Spooner in The King of Queens.
Alexander Skarsgård As Meekus
