Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.The actor, who achieved worldwide fame as Ferris Bueller in the 1987 teen comedy, explained how it was “hard” for people to get on board with his later roles.Speaking in an interview with The Guardian, Broderick said: “I did have nice early success.
But it’s not easy to maintain that first flush. It’s always a hard adjustment for child actors, young actors.
