Ernie Hudson Praises Bill Murray for Advocating for His 'Ghostbusters' Return: 'That Was Just Very, Very Special'

Ernie Hudson recalled a moment from his 'Ghostbusters' days during a solo panel at Rhode Island Comic Con on Nov. 2, saying, 'Bill Murray is the only actor I think I've ever worked with who when they tried to get him to do another [movie] ... Bill just basically said, 'If Ernie Hudson's not in it, I'm not doing it.'

During a solo panel at Rhode Island Comic Con on Saturday, Nov. 2, Hudson, 78, opened up about a time when Murray, 74, stood up for him during their earlier Ghostbusters days. Hudson continued to rave about costars Murray, Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd's "willingness to be inclusive" toward him on set, "because the studio was not." The only original, primary cast member to not appear in all four films (which now include two modern-day set sequels) was Ramis, who died in February 2014 at age 69.
