'Ferris Bueller' cast: Where are they now?

Ben Stein

Who would have ever imagined that one word, repetitively uttered in monotone, would set off a career of such media whoring? After hearing the laughs from his very first “Bueller,” Ben Stein totally left behind the life of a former Nixon-era White House staffer to do, well, whatever people would pay him to. He’s shilled eye drops, offered economic advice (with a grain of salt) to cable news, and recently hosted the show “America’s Most Smartest Model.” There’s just no getting rid of him.
