Watch this newly unearthed screen test of Ben Stiller in “Encino Man”

 March 15, 2023      Andrew Buss      Movies, News    

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the 90’s cult comedy film, Encino Man. Mainly it’s due to the fact that two of its stars – Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan – just won Oscars this past weekend. But we’ve also learned some new details about the 30 year-old film.

The movie served as a breakout role for Brendan Fraser. But before Fraser, Ben Stiller was up for the part, alongside Keith Coogan, who was up for the Sean Astin part.

Stiller’s take on the role is obviously much different, but it’s interesting to see what could have been. It could have been Stiller winning an Oscar for The Whale Sunday night.
