* IAmNotSpock: He will forever be Ferris Bueller to the world, but Broderick himself has ruled out reappearing as the character and is rumored to be annoyed when people bring it up to him. However, he may be softening his stance towards the role; see AdamWesting.
* OldShame: He admits ''Godzilla'' was a terrible movie. Also his stance towards the 2004 remake of ''Literature/TheStepfordWives'' that he appeared in.
* ThoseTwoActors: Has teamed up with Creator/NathanLane on Broadway multiple times (''TheProducers'', ''Theater/TheOddCouple'', ''It's Only a Play'') after initially teaming up with him for ''The Lion King'' (Lane voiced Timon).
