Cryer and Broderick were the two to watch in the 1980s. Cryer had a starring role in Pretty In Pink, and Broderick will always be known for the success of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

As for the rest of their careers, Broderick landed the credit of voicing Simba in Lion King. Cryer didn’t have many major roles until 2003 when he partnered with Charlie Sheen for Two And A Half Men, but we all know why that show was cut short.
