Rick Moranis
Rick Moranis (born April 18, 1953) is a retired actor from Canada. He made several appearances in several Hollywood films including Ghostbusters; Spaceballs; Little Shop of Horrors; Honey, I Shrunk the Kids; and The Flintstones movies.
In 1996 he retired leaving a wondrous legacy. A career jam packed with funderful performances. He's frequently worked alongside Bill Murray. He really enjoyed his earlier films as he was allowed to improvise and bounce ideas off the writers and directors. As he became more famous he was less able to do this.
He took time off in the mid 90's to look after his kids, but claims that he never felt the urge to go back into acting.
He is now a country singer songwriter and has performed on the Conan O'Brien show.
