Actor Ernie Hudson embodied the sensible, reliable and ethical Zeddemore who joined the Ghostbusters because he wanted a steady gig. Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore)Īs the fourth member of the team, Winston Zeddemore was considered the "common man" of the Ghostbusters. The 2016 female reboot of Ghostbusters was dedicated to him. Sadly, Ramis died from an autoimmune disease in 2014.
Ramis wasn't only a film writer, but he also directed some box office hit comedies such as National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), Groundhog Day (1993) - for which he won a BAFTA award - and Analyze This (1999). Actor Harold Ramis, who played Egon did, too, since he co-wrote both Ghostbuster films with Aykroyd.
When Egon got tech crazy, Ray was the only one who managed to understand his nerd language. Egon Spengler, the "brain" of the Ghostbusters (and if anyone was honest, the "hair" of the Ghostbusters, too). Who created the Containment Unit and the Proton Pack? That would be Dr. Aykroyd returned as Ray Stantz in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Post Ghostbusters, Aykroyd has starred in memorable films like Dragnet (1987), Driving Miss Daisy (1989), Coneheads (1993) and Christmas with the Kranks (2004), among many others. Stantz's enthusiasm for studying and understanding ghosts is unparalleled, and if you know a thing or two about Dan Aykroyd, then you'd know Stantz's fascination with the paranormal isn't too far off from the actor's own personal interests. If Peter Venkman is the lazy Ghostbuster, then character Ray Stantz is the team member with the most heart. Murray reprised his role as Venkman in 2021's Ghostbusters: Afterlife. And Murray's career wouldn't be complete without mentioning his Wes Anderson collaborations- The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) and Moonrise Kingdom (2012), to name a few. For some fans, Venkman was one of Murray's best characters of all time, but the actor had so many roles after Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II that are worthy of mentioning, such as Scrooged (1988), Groundhog Day (1993) and Lost in Translation (2003), the last of which won him a Golden Globe and BAFTA Award. His disinterested attitude in ghosts, immense sarcasm and propensity to flirt with the ladies were characteristics that Bill Murray was able to embody with originality and verve. Seen as the laziest of the Ghostbusters, parapsychologist Peter Venkman was nonetheless considered the group's leader.
