	DVD Review - Harold Ramis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Harold Ramis was playing Dr. Egon Spengler in Ivan Reitman’s outrageous action comedy and its sequel, and although he has slowly left the spotlight of acting since then, these days Ramis acts as a successful writer and more importantly as an acclaimed director.
		Ramis’ unerringness to create films that appeal to a variety of audiences despite their cultural differences however makes it clear that he seems to have found the right formula a long time ago when he was co-writing “Ghostbusters”, a film he has fond memories of.
		Harold Ramis is one of those directors who do not care too much about technical issues in general and have everything in their heads when they go to the set.

	Harold Ramis - Biography - Moviefone
		Ramis didn't join the SNL folks, but instead headed for Edmonton, where he was a writer/performer on the weekly Second City TV sketch comedy series.
		Like the rest of his talented co-stars, Ramis played a rich variety of roles on the series, the most prominent of which was TV station manager Moe Green (a character name swiped from the second Godfather movie); his other characters tended to be nerdy or officious types.
		To be fair, audiences had certainly had their fill of SNL spinoff movies by this point and the movie did have a somewhat hard time balancing its drama with comedy, but with well written characters and a smart script many eventually succumbed to its charm when the film was released on home video shortly thereafter.

		Ramis: Peter Brook, the great stage director, writing about people saying that theatre is dying, he goes "Well, yeah, because plays are so bad."

		Ramis was one of the first of the new generation of comic voices to come out of the Second City improv troupe in Chicago, which trained Murray, John Belushi, Chris Farley, and Mike Myers, among many others, in the sketch-driven style that has come to dominate modern comedy.
