“Ferris Bueller” book reveals the '80s star who almost beat out Matthew Broderick for title role (exclusive)

Ferris Bueller is undoubtedlyMatthew Broderick's most iconic film role — but the character was almost played by another '80s teen cinema icon.

Author Jason Klamm is pulling back the curtain onFerris Bueller's Day Offwith his upcoming bookFerris Bueller…You're My Hero: The Story of the World's Most Famous Day Off, which chronicles the development and production of the classic high school comedy in great detail.

In the third chapter of the book, Klamm explains how writer/directorJohn HughespitchedFerristo Paramount executives Ned Tanen and Lindsay Doran. In that preliminary meeting, theBreakfast Clubfilmmaker and the studio execs tossed around marketing ideas, as well as a surprising casting idea for the title role:Jon Cryer, who had previously popped up as Ducky in the Hughes-written comedyPretty in Pink.

In the excerpt below, Klimm shares details from his interview with Cryer, in which theTwo and a Half Menstar indicated that he had no idea that he was considered to play Ferris. The author also addresses the rumors that another frequent Hughes collaborator,Anthony Michael Hall, was considered for the part.

Excerpted from FERRIS BUELLER… YOU'RE MY HERO: THE STORY OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS DAY OFF by Jason Klamm. Copyright © 2026 by Jason Klamm. Reprinted with permission of 1984 Publishing. All rights reserved.

They already had some casting ideas, too. The most prominent among these was Jon Cryer, whose performance inPretty in Pinkwas fresh on their minds. I asked Cryer if his people had relayed the studio's interest to him.

"Yes, for theAlan Ruckcharacter," he says, then explaining why he likely wasn't cast as Cameron. "I mean, I'm just too similar to Matthew." As for being under consideration to play Ferris: "I have not heard that, but I trust Lindsay Doran [former Vice President of Production at Paramount]...yeah, that's news to me." [John] Hughes came to thePretty in Pinkset enough while it andFerriscrossed over that Cryer (a fan of Hughes back to hisLampoondays) did feel like he was missing out. "Ferris Buellersounded a little more antically comedic thanPretty in Pinkwas," Cryer tells me. "It sounded like he was going to have a great time, and I was like, 'Oh, that would have been a fun project to do with him'...I recall being a little jealous at the time."

Famously, Hughes' three-time leading man, Anthony Michael Hall, has since said that the part could have been his. "John actually had written Ferris Bueller for me," Hall would later write. "We both determined that I should move on to other things. I needed a break. I wanted to try some new things." Instead ofFerris, it seems, he shot the filmOut of Boundsand became a part ofSaturday Night Live's strangest season.

"Trust me, I think he would have put Michael in anything," Jane Lay [Hughes' assistant] says. "I don't want to say 100 percent, but I would say that I'm sure he was thinking of Michael for Ferris at some point." Some of the dialogue in the film—especially some lines that were either never shot or used in the film—do have that young Anthony Michael Hall attitude in them, though Hughes himself never publicly confirmed this rumor. "How it ended up not being Jon Cryer and being Matthew Broderick, I don't really remember," Doran admits. "I do remember that at least Jon's representatives were disappointed about that."

Jaguars to play 2027 home slate in Orlando while stadium under construction

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play their home games in Orlando in 2027.

NFL owners gave unanimous approval on Tuesday to the plan to relocate to Camping World Stadium for that one season. Orlando is about 140 miles south of Jacksonville.

The Jaguars' current home, EverBank Stadium, will be unavailable because of a $1.4 billion project to transform it into what the team has named the Stadium of the Future. Work already has started.

Improvements include upgrades to technology as well as a transparent canopy designed to reduce the heat retention at the venue by 70% or more. A remake of the concourses also is scheduled, and shared spaces such as bars and food areas, will be reimagined. New lookout spaces will allow fans a view of Jacksonville.

The construction will limit capacity at EverBank Stadium in the 2026 season, but the Jaguars will play there. Some stadium areas will be closed to seating.

The project is scheduled to be completed before the 2028 season.

"Following the comprehensive evaluation of our 2027 season playing options, we are pleased that the NFL and NFL owners unanimously agree that Orlando is the location that best meets the needs of the Jaguars, our 2027 opponents, and the National Football League," said Mark Lamping, the team president. "This temporary relocation is a necessary and important step to facilitate the 2028 completion of Jacksonville's Stadium of the Future. We are deeply grateful to our fanbase for their continued support, patience, and enthusiasm during this interim period."

The team has said the renovations will put Jacksonville in line to host events such as the Super Bowl, the Final Four and the college football playoffs. Jacksonville hosted Super Bowl XXXIX on Feb. 6, 2005, when the New England Patriots defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21.

The stadium opened in 1995 when the Jaguars joined the NFL. It occupies the site of the old Gator Bowl, built in 1927.

This day in history: Soap opera General Hospital premieres

April 1st is known to many as April Fools' Day, but for television fans, it was the daythe small screengot serious about drama. On this day in 1963, two of the most influential medical soap operas in history made their debut on national television:General HospitalandThe Doctors.

Both shows chose a hospital as their primary setting, which was a relatively new concept for thesoap opera genreat the time. By focusing on the lives of doctors, nurses, and patients, these programs were able to blend professional medical crises with intense personal drama.

A soap opera is a long-running TV or radio drama that reflects a set of ongoing, melodramatic storylines, high emotional drama, and complex relationships.The Doctors,premiered on NBC, was set in the fictional Hope Memorial Hospital. For many years, it was a staple of the network's daytime lineup, known for its dedicated fan base and its focus on the moral and romantic dilemmas of its medical staff.

On the same day,General Hospitalpremiered on ABC. Set in the fictional Port Charles, New York. In its early years, it wasn't the massive hit we know today. In fact, by the late1970s, the show faced the threat of cancellation due to low ratings. Afterproducer Gloria Montytook over everything changed. She introduced younger characters and worked on the storytelling. The most famous change was the introduction ofLuke and Laura. Their 1981 wedding remains the highest-rated hour in the history of American soap operas, with 30 million viewers tuning in.

The Doctorseventually left the air in1982,General Hospitalcontinued after that and broke many records, winning numerous Daytime Emmy Awards and launching the careers of several famous actors.

General Hospital premiered in black-and-white as a half-hour show. It is now the longest-running American soap opera in production, holding the record for the most Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series with18 winsas of 2025.

The Doctors was initially designed as an anthology series where characters changed frequently, rather than a continuous serial. Due to low ratings (3.4) with the anthology format, it switched to a traditional continuing serial format in March 1964, which immediately doubled its ratings. The show ran for nearly 20 years until December 31, 1982.
