FERRIS AND THE VIN NUMBERS: Today's NYT article on The Producers and the non-"star"ness of Matthew Broderick and some of the gaps in his acting career got me to thinking about what roles Matthew Broderick could have (or should have) been up for in the intervening years that might've been perfect for him.
He's not a romantic lead; he's more of the Timid Everyman Who'd Like To Think He's Smart (which makes him perfect for Leo Bloom), and he plays Aggrieved By The World pretty well. Which got me to thinking: how good of a job would Broderick have done playing Jerry Lundegaard in Fargo? He might have even been better than William H. Macy, if that's possible.
Your thoughts on other Broderick Acting Triumphs in an alternative universe are welcome.
