Ernie Hudson played Dr. Winston Zeddemore in the original Ghostbusters, and was the fourth member to join the team after seeing a job advertisement in the wanted ads, and replying.
It’s unclear who the actor will be playing in the reboot, but with Murray expected to take on a different role, chances are it won’t be as the same character unfortunately for franchise fans.
Controversially, Hudson described the all-female cast as a “bad idea” when the new first broke, but later praised the four leads (Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon) as, “Four fiercely funny, foxy, females busting ghosts … phenomenal.”
The news of his involvement in this new Ghostbusters movie broke after he was spotted on the set of the movie. We’ll hopefully hear something a little more definite about this soon, but it should be fun to see how he factors into the reboot which is set for release next July.
