Crossover with Ferris Bueller's? Ferris's dad at the beginning of the movie.


I forget what Ferris's dad did. Was it advertising?

I could research it myself, but sometimes I like to just put a question out there, maybe it leads to a conversation. It can be rewarding, or it can go astray, get ugly, but not too often.

I don't think it was ever mentioned. Maybe they are the same character in the John Hughes Cinematic Universe.🤣

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Ben Stein makes an appearance, though, and it's a different character. But this actor was playing a character kind of similar to Ferris's dad, some executive with a high income.

I think that house is on the same block as the Page's and McCalister's homes.
