Sorry there is no Biography!


Graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Member, Board of Trustees of Washington University. Is a former active member of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Teamed with John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Bill Murray on "The National Lampoon Show" but, unlike the others, was not asked by Lorne Michaels to join "Saturday Night Live" (1975). Harold went to "Second City TV" (1976) instead. He has three children: Daughter Violet Ramis (born 1977), with ex-wife Anne Ramis, and sons Julian Arthur Ramis (born May 10, 1990) and Daniel Hayes Ramis (born August 10, 1994), with wife Erica Mann. The proton packs worn in Ghost Busters (1984) were much heavier than they looked, and some were heavier than others depending on what a scene demanded while filming. According to director Ivan Reitman, none of the actors enjoyed wearing the packs, but Harold complained the least (Reitman would not say which actor complained the most). When he was doing his audition for Second City, it was him performing a sketch to a full house. Best remembered to fans of all ages as Egon in Ghost Busters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989).
