In Hollywood, Justin Theroux puts most other multi-hyphenates to shame. The 38-year-old actor is already well-known for roles in film ( Mulholland Drive, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle ) and TV ( Six Feet Under ), and he even directed the Sundance entry Dedication , but after co-writing the Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder , he’s suddenly become the town’s most in-demand screenwriter. Iron Man 2 is his latest credit, though Theroux’s got many more scripts on his plate, including Space Invader, Chief Ron , and Zoolander 2 , the latter of which he’ll direct. (If you’d rather see him in front of a camera, never fear: he’ll play the villain in next year’s James Franco/Danny McBride stoner comedy Your Highness ). Movieline already teased a little bit of our interview with Theroux; now, here’s the rest, where he describes his unlikely career shift, the unorthodox Iron Man 2 writing process, and what he’s got planned for the Zoolander franchise.
