ERNIE HUDSON
Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters
ernie hudson has certainly had a diverse career, from playing winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters, to Sandra Bullock’s women’s-swimsuit-wearing boss in Miss Congeniality. But he does miss the proton pack...
Would you like to play the role of Winston again?
yeah I’d love to play the role again. I thought when we did the [second] movie there’d be more Ghostbusters but for whatever reason they couldn’t put it together. I still love the character, and hopefully the studio will figure out a way to get everybody to come back together.
What would Winston be up to now?
He’d probably be retired by now! I like how the idea has created ghostbuster chapters in every major city around the world. So maybe he’d have a franchise and be successfully running the ghostbusters.
Did you get any souvenirs from the set?
I had my two jumpsuits from the first and second movies, but the first one disappeared from my hotel room in New Jersey. Some fans made me a great backpack. But I’m not much of a souvenir guy.
What would it say on Winston’s gravestone?
“If there was a steady pay cheque in it he’d believe anything you say!”
