Show Notes

Alan Ruck has several iconic roles under his belt. Cameron Frye in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Stuart Bondek in Spin City, and most recently, the eldest Roy boy Connor in Succession. But would you believe that after Ferris Bueller, Ruck was jobless, penniless and took a job at a Sears warehouse? This week we look at a much requested post-success rejection story.
