Matthew Broderick has become one of Hollywood's most reliable and versatile actors ever since impressing audiences in such early films as Max Dugan Returns, War Games, Ladyhawke and, most especially, the beloved Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

The actor went on to appear in a long string of features including Project X, Biloxi Blues, Torch Song Trilogy, Family Business, Glory, The Freshman, The Night We Never Met, The Lion King (voice), and Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle.

Subsequent film credits include The Cable Guy, Infinity (which he also produced and directed), Addicted to Love, Godzilla, Election, Inspector Gadget, and You Can Count on Me.

More recently, Broderick was seen on the big screen in the Stepford Wives remake; Marie and Bruce; The Last Shot; Strangers With Candy; and The Producers, in which he recreated his Tony® Award-nominated role as Leopold Bloom opposite his Broadway co-star Nathan Lane.

In addition, the actor has appeared in the telefilms Master Harold and the Boys (1985 Cable ACE Award nomination); A Life in the Theatre (1993 Emmy nominee); and, more recently, The Music Man as Professor Harold Hill.

Broderick's other Broadway credits include Tony Award-winning turns in Brighton Beach Memoirs and the 1995 revival of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, as well as productions of Torch Song Trilogy, Biloxi Blues, Night Must Fall, Taller Than a Dwarf, and, most recently, the 2005 revival of The Odd Couple, playing Felix Ungar opposite Nathan Lane's Oscar Madison.

The actor will next be seen in Kenneth Lonergan's feature drama Margaret and will be heard in DreamWorks Animation's Bee Movie.
