What's the difference? One's green, and one's not?  ;D

Nope, Slimer's the ghost of John Belushi.  Look it up.

It's in Wikipedia, so it must be true!

Aykroyd originally wrote the role of Dr. Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters (1984) with Belushi in mind, but rewrote it for Bill Murray after Belushi's death. Aykroyd joked that the green ghost, later known as "Slimer", was "the ghost of John Belushi" and based on the similar party animal personality.

Yep. And I think it says something in there about John Candy being considered for it, as well as some others I can't think of right now.

[Centurion40]

I miss John Candy, and Phil Hartman.  Gone too soon.

In the longshot category, I heard that we almost Anne Hathaway to a Hawaiian riptide.  Nobody would have seen that one coming.

Anne Hathaway is too hot to die.

[BanzaiCat]

I'm thinking Sean Connery's time is coming.

[mirth]

There can be only one!

[MetalDog]

Anne Hathaway is too hot to die.

I endorse this statement.

[Centurion40]

Nobody had Philip Seymour Hoffman.  Hard to see that one coming.  Shocking & sad.
