Peter Venkman

Actor Name: Bill Murray

Appearances: Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, Ghostbusters: The Video Game

According to the original Ghostbusters script, "Venkman is an associate professor but his rumpled suit and the manic gleam in his eyes indicate an underlying instability in his nature. However, while a little short on academic credentials, Venkman is long on confidence, charm and salesmanship."

From the commentary on the Ghostbusters DVD, Peter Venkman is considered to be the "mouth" of the Ghostbusters team meaning that he is the member who directs the conversation and is always ready with a pithy remark.
