Director of the brilliant Groundhog Day.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/26327020
Actor and director Harold Ramis, best known for the films Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day, has died aged 69.

The star found fame as bespectacled ghost-hunter Egon Spengler in the Ghostbusters franchise in 1984.

But he was also a talented writer and director, whose credits included Caddyshack and Animal House.

"Harold Ramis was a brilliant, shining example for every comedy writer”

Seth McFarlane
"His creativity, compassion, intelligence, humour and spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved him," said his family in a statement.

Much-admired in Hollywood, Ramis's death prompted an outpouring of tributes on Twitter.

Billy Crystal, who starred in the director's mobster comedies Analyze This and Analyze That wrote: "Sad to hear my friend Harold Ramis passed away.

"A brilliant, funny, actor and director. A wonderful husband and dad. Big loss to us all."

Iron Man director Jon Favreau added: "No, no, not Harold Ramis. Worked for him years ago. He was the real deal. Growing up, his work changed my life. He will be missed."

"Harold Ramis was a brilliant, shining example for every comedy writer hoping to achieve excellence the field," wrote Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane.

US chat show host Seth Meyers called him "one of the all time greats", while Scrubs actor Zach Braff said: "If you're my age and got into comedy, Harold Ramis was one of the reasons. Life is fast and over too soon."
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. The true measure of a man is this: how quickly he can respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give - Philip K. Dick.

It's 20+ years I think since I watched 'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle', but I remember him playing a good role in that, whereby I felt protective of him / his character.
