Matthew Broderick is a household name these days, but prior to his role as charming slacker Ferris, his only other big screen role had been as David in the 1983 film WarGames. Broadway audiences however had already gotten to see him in Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues. (The latter of which Broderick won a Tony for.) After Ferris Bueller’s Da...
Alan Ruck has recently undergone quite a transformation in the public consciousness, going from being known primarily as Ferris’s neurotic best friend Cameron to being known as Connor Roy, the eldest of the dysfunctional but wealthy Roy family in the HBO hit series Succession. Ruck has had plenty of other fantastic roles in between though as well. ...

More recently Jones played A.W. Merrick in Deadwood a...
Ben Stein’s deadpan delivery made the role of Ferris’s economics teacher far more hilarious and memorable than it had any right to be. Stein went on to bring that same effect to roles in the film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, the shows Charles in Charge, The Wonder Years, and guest appearances on everything from Seinfeld to Rugrats to Family Guy...
Beloved actor and comedian Louie Anderson had a small early role in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off as the flower delivery man who accompanies the singing telegram “nurse” to the Buellers’ door. Before that role, Anderson had a few other small parts in films and had been part of 1984’s “9th Annual Young Comedians Special,” which also featured Bob Saget an...
Charlie Sheen, who has a small role as the troubled but wise young man that Jeanie meets at the police station, had a few roles prior to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. 1986 proved to be a massive year for Sheen, as he starred in Oliver Stone’s Platoon and was in an episode of the Steven Spielberg show Amazing Stories: Book Three.
