Ernie Hudson Recalls Feeling Devastated Over Winston’s Reduced Role in Ghostbusters

The release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife in theaters has Ernie Hudson reflecting on the decades he’s spent as a part of the franchise. For every Ghostbusters fan, there has always been four members of the team, but you wouldn’t quite know that from the way the first Ghostbuster movie was marketed in the 1980s. Different posters and VHS cover art would depict only Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis busting ghosts with their proton packs, almost as if Ernie Hudson’s Winston didn’t exist.
