From the Archives: Matthew Broderick on "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."
Actor Matthew Broderick. He recently made his singing and dancing debut in the revival of the Broadway musical, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." Broderick plays J. Pierrepont Finch, an ambitious window washer who climbs the corporate ladder by "fawning, brown-nosing, sucking up and a touch of backstabbing." The satirical musical was written by Frank Loesser and Abe Burrows and first hit the stage in 1961. Broderick is best known for his acting, in such movies as "Torch Song Trilogy," "War Games," and "The Freshman." Broderick was nominated for a 1995 Tony Award for his performance in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." Broderick steps down from his role as J. Pierrepont Finch, early next month.
