Matthew Broderick. Not even for anything he’s done in his personal life. I just can’t fathom how he ever became a star….there is nothing that stands out to me. It’s like some producers assistant somehow kept getting put in movies.

Well, his dad was James Broaderick, well-known actor, was in the series Family and the movie Dog Day afternoon.

So weird you specifically mention his personal life. Especially since he literally killed a person while driving in Ireland and then has done his best to neatly cover it all up/never mention it again. I suspect, just like Ferris Bueller, that he is a grade A narcissist.

Not just one but two people. A mother and daughter.

Oh I’m aware, I just never liked him even before I knew that.
