But do you know who she is?
The thespian in question is Ella Stiller, who is the daughter of Hollywood A-lister Ben Stiller.
Ella’s mum is also Christine Taylor, who starred as Bonnie in Friends and in The Brady Bunch Movie and Zoolander.
The young actress, 22, has joined the cast of Before This New Year, a play written by Liana Sonenclar that will run Off-Broadway in New York City.
Ella will take on the role of Jen in the play, which is about a former high school track star called Alison Bennett.
Alison is played by Kaci Walfall, who previously took on the title role in the DC superhero show Naomi.
English actress Emily, who has also starred as a young Lara Croft in the 2018 reboot of Tomb Raider, plays a former teammate of Alison called Haley.
The girls meet up again some years after graduation and ‘confront some tricky feelings’.
Ella is Emmy winner Ben and Catherine’s eldest child. They are also parents to son Quinlin, 19.
The siblings’ grandparents are the late Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, who performed together in the 1960s as comedy team Stiller and Meara.
Ella has always known she wanted to join her family‘s dynasty of stars and become an actress.
In June last year, she graduated from the prestigious Juilliard School with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting.
Gushing on Instagram at the time, she said: “I couldn’t be happier to be done or prouder to have survived or more grateful to my family for the unwavering support that got me there and through.”
Ella then joked: “I have a degree in playing pretend!!! Yay!!!”
In 2019, Meet The Parents star Ben appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show and Ella supporting him from the studio audience.
Ellen asked Ella if she wanted to go into acting, to which she nodded and replied: “Yeah!”
When asked if he was “happy about that”, Ben replied: “I am happy.
“She loves it and she’s very passionate about it and she knows what she wants to do.
“I knew when I was 10 or 11 years old that I wanted to direct movies and eventually act too.
“But I think, yeah, you know, it’s a crazy business so I just want to support her in it in any way possible…legally!”
Before This New Year, which kicks off next month, is Ella’s first Off-Broadway role, however she has a number of screen credits to her name.
Ella had a role in the 2018 limited series Escape at Dannemora, which was directed by her dad Ben, and in the Adam Sandler hit Hubie Halloween in 2020.
She also has a string of voice acting roles on her resumé.
Last year, Ben admitted he would like to one day work with Ella and her younger brother Quinlin, who is also forging his own career in the industry.
He told E! News: “Both my kids are actors and not really kids anymore. And they’re both really good, so it’d be fun to work with them.
“I have done a couple of little things with them, but I’d love to [work with them in a movie]. It’d be really fun.”
He added: “I think eventually they’ll probably be directing and producing stuff that I’ll be asking them to cast me in. That’s how it goes.”
