How Did Ben Stein End Up in Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
Last year, Stein opened up to Entertainment Tonight about how he ended up with a role in the movie. He was visiting the set with a producer friend, and director Hughes noticed he had "a really, really funny voice." He asked Stein to do a little role off-camera, taking attendance of the students. Later, he was told to just go make something up on camera, but he gave the lecture on economics, which cracked up the cast and crew. It was so successful that it was extended and became a legendary scene in the movie.
