Ben Stiller dot Net : Ben Stiller Show

From the mailbag: Stiller as James Hetfield?

Published September 18th, 2008 in category Ben Stiller, Ben Stiller Show

In this new, irregular feature, I’ll be looking at interesting questions from readers of the site– and hopefully be able to answer them.

Erin of Princeton, NJ asks,

I was wondering if you’re familiar with a clip of Ben impersonating James Hetfield, with someone else doing Lars Ulrich?

I’ve seen the “Head Slammer’s Ball” clip, which is GREAT, but I SWEAR there’s another one.

Bob Odenkirk as Lars Ulrich, Ben Stiller as James Hetfield

Yes, Ben did an impression as Hetfield in episode 11 of The Ben Stiller Show, with Bob Odenkirk playing Lars. That may be the one you’re thinking of.

I don’t believe that Ben re-visited the character– but perhaps he did on the original MTV version of the show.

Erin replied with,

That clip is the one I’ve seen……it’s GREAT, but I think there’s another!

I’m going to have to do some more digging around….I’ll let you know if I find anything : )

So has anyone seen another clip of Ben Stiller portraying Hetfield?
