Sad news today…Harold Ramis passed today of complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, which is a rare disease that involves swelling of the blood vessels. He was only 69 years young.
I think the first time I was introduced to Harold Ramis was when I saw Stripes for the first time!
Ok, so Stripes isn’t clicking for you? How about the classic 80’s blockbuster…Ghostbusters?
I’m not even going to throw SCTV at you…
So, now that I have your attention, you now know that Harold Ramis was an amazing talent; I bet you didn’t know in addition to being a great comedic actor, he was a writer, producer, director, contributor to soundtracks. Did you know he was a joke editor for Playboy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Ramis
He was a writer with 36 titles to his name, Ghostbusters, Animal House, Caddyshack, Stripes, Groundhog Day and Analyze This, just to name a few! An actor in 23 projects, film, tv, documentaries, voices for animated films and tv shows; produced or co-produced 15 projects and director of 14, how amazing a talent is that?
The man and his talent will definitely be missed.
