Writer, actor, director HAROLD RAMIS. He's one of the most influential forces behind some of the biggest comedy hits of the late 70s and 80s. But his influence is not generally known by those outside the industry. (For that reason he's been called the "Clark Kent" of comedy. Also because he's "mild-mannered," "bespectacled," and he "looks as if he would be the first to duck under the table at the first sign of a food fight"). RAMIS wrote for "The National Lampoon Show," and "SCTV." He co-wrote as well as acted in the movies, "Animal House," "Stripes," "Ghostbusters," and others. He directed the new movie, "Groundhog Day," starring his old co-star Bill Murray.
