10 Actors You Had No Idea Produced Awesome Movies
4. Ben Stiller - Megamind
It's no secret that Ben Stiller often produces his own movies through his production company Red Hour Digital. From Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story to Tropic Thunder, you can safely bet if Stiller is a main character, he's probably helping fund the project itself.
But what about side characters? Enter Megamind.
Stiller voiced a side character named Bernard. His screen starts with him being hit by Megamind's De-Gun which dehydrates him and turns him into a small cube. It would end there, except we do get to see him in a post credits scene being rehydrated thanks to being put through a washing machine.
Surely such a minor role wouldn't make him consider helping fund the project, right?
His credit of producer makes a bit more sense than some of the previous producers we've discussed. Stiller was originally approached to play the titular role, but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. The early stages of the movie were more than likely helped along by him under the assumption he'd play the role, thus granting him the credit.
