Actors Improvised These Famous Moments In Cinema

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Ben Stein has appeared in a few films as the deadpan doctor or teacher – making him a fan favorite among cult movie lovers. In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the actor and speechwriter ad-libbed one of his most famous moments. But was that supposed to be the case?

Stein has discussed the moment in interviews: “John Hughes asked me to ad-lib two scenes. When I finished the scene, everyone on the set…started applauding. I thought they were applauding because they’d learned something about economics. I later learned they were applauding because it was so boring.”
