"Who does your taxes?"
Voice Actor:
Rodger Bumpass (1989-1990) |
Louis Tully is an accountant and lawyer, and was possessed during the Ghostbusters' battle with Gozer. He was hired by the Ghostbusters in the second movie, and joined the RGB cast to reflect that. As he's not very capable with a proton pack, knows nothing about the paranormal, and his job is boring, he doesn't appear very much--but did help out a time or two, and had his own flight suit.
Louis has a nephew, Lawrence, who is a spoiled brat. Louis keeps trying to buy the "right" birthday presents for him, but Lawrence isn't very grateful.
A few early episode of Season 5 seem to follow after GB2, depicting Louis as in a relationship with the Ghostbusters' receptionist, Janine Melnitz, but eventually the writers restore her earlier relationship with Egon Spengler. One issue of the Now Comics has Egon and Janine expressly arguing about Louis, where she dismisses him as "Sweet but harmless"
In his one NOW comics appearance it seems Louis comes by to keep Janine company while Egon and the boys are out of town on a mission. He's apparently not allowed to drive Ecto-1. It is also notable that while he had brown hair in the animated series, his hair was black in the comic book.
In another similarity to his movie counterpart, deep down Louis really wants to be a hero and do good. He does look up to the Ghostbusters and always tries to be worthy of their respect. He also likes kids and tries to be a good Uncle to his nephew. |

| Extreme Ghostbusters does not even mention Louis, so his activities after the Ghostbusters go out of business are unknown. |
