characters/cast
sorted by characterOne of the greatest things about this movie is the characters. They're completely unforgettable.
Name: Ferris BuellerActed by: Matthew Broderick
Age: 17
Fanlisting: CLICK!
So what's the deal?: Being a teenager is practically synonymous with being hard done by, in Ferris' point of view. So maybe it's about time someone took advantage of the system! And with his quick thinking and trusty sidekicks, what could possibly go wrong?
Name: Cameron FryeActed by: Alan Ruck
Age: 17
Fanlisting: CLICK!
So what's the deal?: I've never really found myself able to summarise Cameron. Fancy having a go at it?
Name: Sloane PetersonActed by: Mia Sara
Age: 17
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: The story of this young lady's life is pretty much Ferris Bueller. He's her knight in shining armour. Or... shady character in a red Ferrari, as it were.
Name: Ed RooneyActed by: Jeffrey Jones
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None.
So what's the deal?: It seems to be that Rooney's single most important goal in life is to bust Ferris Bueller. He'll stop at nothing to catch Ferris in his lies, even going so far as to stalk him at his home! But we all know it's a fruitless venture. Ferris is just too good. ;)
Name: The FerrariActed by: A 1961 250 GT California Red Ferrari
Age: 27
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: We don't care what anyone thinks. The car is a character in itself and it had to be included here.
Name: Jeanie BuellerActed by: Jennifer Grey
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: Jeanie's the classic angsting teenager and younger child. She feels neglected, and it seems that she's forever under her big brother's shadow. But she's not so bad, really. Just a little.
Name: Grace, Rooney's secretaryActed by: Edie McClurg
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: Define Grace!
Name: Katie BuellerActed by: Cindy Pickett
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: Just another soul entrapped in Ferris' make-believe world. ;) She gets points for telling Rooney off, though, so she's good with me.
Name: Tom BuellerActed by: Lyman Ward
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: I have to admit I like this guy. He's a little kooky, kind of oblivious, and he's just kind of cool. I'd be fine with having him as my dad!
Name: Police Station Hunk/CriminalActed by: Charlie Sheen
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: This is the guy that Jeanie meets at the police station. He's strangely deep for a junkie criminal, but we all love him, you can't deny it. :P
Name: Economics Class TeacherActed by: Ben Stein
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: Oh, man, this guy is an absolute classic. I don't know anyone who doesn't understand the reference when they hear, "Anyone? ... Anyone? ... Anyone?" What a killer.
Name: Simone AdamleyActed by: Kristy Swanson
Age: 17
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: I always get a giggle out of this chick. She's the one who "explains" why Ferris isn't in class that day. Kudos to the actor for remembering that line!
Name: Chez Quis Maitre D'Acted by: Jonathan Schmock
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: It's hard to like this guy, but you have to admit he's pretty memorable.
Name: Parking Garage AttendantActed by: Richard Edson
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: The first thing that comes to mind when you see this guy is, "OMG sleazy crack dealer!" He might not be one, but he's not exactly the most likeable character. He's a Porche owner's worst nightmare.
Name: Ferris Look-AlikeActed by: Debra Montague
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: This is the chick who looks rather a lot like Ferris Bueller from behind, and the one who spits soda in Rooney's face when mistaken for our boy wonder.
Name: English TeacherActed by: Del Close
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?:
Name: School NurseActed by: Virginia Capers
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: Poor gullable dear. <3
Name: Little Girl On BusActed by: Polly Noonan
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: This is the strange little girl who annoys Rooney on the bus at the end of the film. Serves you right, Rooney! :P
Name: Singing NurseActed by: Stephanie Blake
Age: UNKNOWN
Fanlisting: None. :(
So what's the deal?: Ah, Ferris gets all the fun. ;) Someone obviously hired the deathly ill boy a singing telegram, and this *cough* charming lady was the result.
