Before he played high schoolers, he was one. Looking at this young man filled with vim and vigor, one has to wonder what his class would have voted him—most likely to cut school? Most likely to sing on a parade float? Most likely to "succeed in business without really trying"? Whatever it was, neither his 30-year-plus acting career nor his 50 years seem to have cost him any of his spunk. Go, team Broderick!
