What Other Roles Can Matthew Broderick Use to Sell Stuff?


Chicagoist.com has a pretty funny list of items actor Matthew Broderick should sell using his past movie characters.

(This is all based on the latest Honda commercial featuring the actor semi-reprising his famous "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" character in order to sell the Honda CR-V).

One of those noted film characters is his "Dr. Niko Tatopoulos" role from the 1998 Godzilla film, where chicagoist.com offers the following:

"Diddy has Broderick cover his Kashmir-sampled "Come With Me", the most popular song off the soundtrack to the 1998 remake of Godzilla - in which Broderick starred - for a Ciroc ad".

Funny stuff. I can just imagine him trying to either sing or lip-synch through that, and either result is not pretty.

There's other good items in the article, and I recommend everybody to take a look to imagine what kind of results could happen.

On an interesting note, I wonder if Matthew ever wished he could work again on those Godzilla sequels. He was contracted to do two more sequels, and from interviews done during the original film's release it seemed like he had a blast. ...oh well.

By the way I've included the new Honda commercial so that everyone can see what all the buzz is about.

I've personally never seen that Ferris Bueller movie (it's just one of those things that never seemed to catch my interest) so a lot of the scenes are lost on me as they no doubt reference stuff from the movie.

Enjoy!:
