Actor Name: Rick Moranis

Appearances: Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2

The character of Louis is described in the original Ghostbusters script as, "... a shy nerd, hopelessly in love with Dana." The rest of the character development came mostly from Rick Moranis who played Louis to the gutless hilt.

Moranis likes to work around the lines given to him in a script so much of Louis' dialogue is improvised, although a surprising number of his lines in the movie were also written in the script by Ramis, Reitman, and Aykroyd. The role of Louis Tully was originally offered to funny man, John Candy, in an attempt to reunite him with Bill Murray and Harold Ramis.

"Oh, no, I feel great. I just ordered some more vitamins. I see you were exercising. So was I. I taped "20 Minute Workout" and played it back at high speed so it only took ten minutes and I got a really good workout. You wanna come in and have a mineral water or something?"
