Stiller, who first worked with Coogan on his hit 2006 film Night At The Museum, cast him alongside Black, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Cruise, Matthew McConaughey and Nick Nolte in Tropic Thunder as a pompous Brit director who hilariously loses his head shooting a war movie in the jungle. 



"He always comes with truth, but with the innate sense [of] the funniest way [of] playing that truth," says Stiller of Coogan’s genius.
