It's fair to say that a number of us are familiar with the red haired extra in Ghostbusters. He's the one that shouts "Ghostbusters, alright! alright!" For those of you not familiar here is a video He pops up on both sides of the crowd in the finale and if I remember correctly he appears at the library when the busters are running out. I was curious if any one considered about him having a super natural back ground. I know that wasn't the intention but I think it would be interesting. He encounters the Ghostbusters as they investigate at the library and some how swaps sides of a large barricaded crowd. He actually seems like he would be a ghost you would see in RGB or EGB.

I guess so. Little to go on but sure.

I don't think there's any hidden meaning behind it. Just an extra used in multiple scenes.

Sorta like 'the kid that's in everything'

Ahahhahaha.

I think the only reason that kid is in all those movies is because he is 33.. but looks 16.

And yes the red headed extra is Eldo Ray Estes.

You may be thinking of a different extra with dark hair who appears on the library steps as they are running away, then that same extra appears just after they exit the bank.

The red-haired guy appears in the crowd on BOTH sides of the street in front of spook central.

ah okay thanks I wasn't sure on that one.

Maybe he is a Watcher. Always around to watch important events as they unfold.......granted he is a weeee bit to excited to be an unpartial being.

I want him in GBIII more than I want Bill Murray.

GHOSTBUSTERS! ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!

[joeghostbuster]

the red hair guy is very excited!

and everyone loves a chubby kid with glasses.

I love his total change of character too. When he's on one side of the street its "Ghostbusters! Alright, alright!"

The over side he is extremely camp and feminine

[Esbe77]

He's on both sides of the crowd? Man, talk about split personality... or conflict of interest.

sort of like the "Bong Boy" character from "the Bucket of Truth" episode of Upright Citizens Brigade...
