Harold Ramis was born on November 21, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois.
He is best known for his role as Dr. Egon Spendler, one of the team of three bumbling "experts" in parapsychology, in the GHOSTBUSTER movies.
Ramis is primarily a producer, writer and director of such wacky comedies, such as GROUND HOG DAY [for which he wore all three hats] and the hugely successful GHOSTBUSTERS movies, TV series and video games, all of which he wrote.
Harold Ramis began his career in entertainment as a sketch comedian who portrayed the character Moe Green on SCTV.
Ramis frequently jumps into the fray in his own films playing a small but choice part. He played Russell Ziskey in STRIPES [1981], which he also wrote, as a neurologist in GROUNDHOG DAY, as Steven Bochner in BABY BOOM [1987], Dr. Martin Bettes in AS GOOD AS IT GETS [1997 and Ben's Dad in KNOCKED UP [2007].
