zeddemore
jennifer Unable to keep up with their crushing
workload, the paranormal entrepreneurs place
a 'help wanted' ad which draws the fourth
member of their team -- Winston Zeddemore.
Until the final shooting draft, Winston
had been seen in the script as a security man
for the company. When it became apparent
that the Ghostbusters had no real need for a
security man, he became instead a full-fledged
-- if not altogether convinced -- Ghostbuster.
"I think the original concept for Winston's character was
younger and hipper." says Michael Gross, Associate Producer. "At one
point, we were talking with Gregory Hines about playing the part. We
also considered getting a young, black comedian -- somebody like
Eddie Murphy. But, in retrospect, it's probably just as well we didn't.
It would have been just a little too much. As it is, there is a nice
balance among the four characters. Winston is the moderate
character against which the other three can play."
