Default Harold Ramis
Harold Allen Ramis (November 21, 1944 – February 24, 2014)

Harold Ramis died today, Febuary 24. I thought he deserved his own thread instead of being tucked away in some thread and forgotten. I don't know how impressed with his work, but he acted, wrote and directed some of my favorite movies. Groundhog Day was one of my all time favorite movies. He was one of the original writers for SCTV, a Canadian sketch comedy show that featured comdeians: Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, Robin Duke, Tony Rosato and of course Harold Ramis.

The following list of credit I took from wikipedia's filmology section:
