Sad day. A great Canadian comic and actor. I remember him from his SCTV days mostly (which is still funny despite being 30 years old), and Ghostbusters.

Looks like no Ghostbusters sequel.

I'll always remember him as Dr. Egon Spengler in "Ghostbusters"....

That movie...a 1980s classic.

He was a good director as well, usually have himself small parts in the movies though not in Groundhog Day. He will be missed

Very sad news. And I guess there won't be a sequel although the rumors for the sequel where they were to introduce a new cast as successors since the original cast is quite old.

I never got the hype around 'Ghostbusters'.

My best friend says it is his all-time favourite film.

for a lot of us it was a movie that ties back to our childhoods, it stands out with ET as the 2 movies I remember most vividly from my youth for entirely different reasons. It's comedy still holds up, but it's the common mans comedy, if you're the type that doesn't appreciate that humor this and caddyshack and animal house and groundhog day are going to be movies you just won't get as they'll be out of your wheelhouse but for a lot of us they're going to be movies you've watched countless times over and quote regularly.

RIP Harold Ramis. One of the greats and very disappointed I won't get to see Egon on screen again, I had hoped it would make the screen again.
