A video has just been posted on YouTube featuring actor Matthew Broderick, star of the 1980's classic film FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF. In the video, the actor teases that he may reprise his famous movie role for a potential TV spot to air on Super Bowl Sunday, February 5th. 

The caption for the video reads, "We hate to be such a tease, but on a day like today, we just have to. Stick it out until the Super Bowl, or take a 'day off' on Monday and catch the big reveal."

Broderick starred in the John Hughes's 1986 film 'Ferris Bueller' opposite Jennifer Grey, Jeffrey Jones, Alan Ruck and Mia Sara. The actor played a high school teenager who decides to play hooky from school in order to have one extraordinary day before going off to college. 

Broderick played Eugene Morris Jerome in the Neil Simon Eugene Trilogy including the plays, Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues. He returned to Broadway as a musical star in the 1990s, most notably with his Tony Award-winning performance in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and his Tony Award-nominated performance in the Mel Brooks' stage version of The Producers in 2001. Broderick reunited with his co-star from The Lion King and The Producers, Nathan Lane, in The Odd Couple, which opened on Broadway in October 2005. He appeared on Broadway as a college professor in the Philanthropist in 2009. 

The actor will be starring opposite Kelli O'Hara in the upcoming production of NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT, opening on Broadway in April. The show will be produced by Roger Berlind, Sonia Friedman, Roy Furman and Scott Landis.
