Rick Moranis Won't Cameo In Ghostbusters Reboot Because It Didn't Appeal To Him

Rick Moranis (Strange Brew, Honey I Shunk the Kids) hasn't appeared in a live-action film since 1997's Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, however, he has provided voice-over work for several animated projects in the past 18 years. He was asked to come out of his unofficial retirement to make a cameo in Paul Feig's Ghostbusters remake, but he turned down the offer. The Hollywood Reporter was able to nab a rare interview with the 62-year-old comedian and found out why he passed on the opportunity.

"I wish them well," Moranis told THR. "I hope it's terrific. But it just makes no sense to me. Why would I do just one day of shooting on something I did 30 years ago?" Moranis played accountant-turned-Keymaster Louis Tully in the original Ghostbusters and then five years later became the Ghostbusters' accountant/babysitter in the 1989 sequel.
