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
."
