I just watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles again for the first time in years. I loved him in the movie where he was private detective, but I don't remember the name.

He was offered the part of Louis Tulley and eventually backed out. The part went to Rick Maranis.

He wasn't in ghostbusters. Not sure what the OP is smoking :)

Try reading all the posts, I gave an explanation.

BTW, I think personally, Spaceballs was one of his best movies.

"Who Is Harry Crumb?"

Edit: That's the name of the movie, not a question

He was one of the funniest ever. Watch some of his stuff on the SCTV television show if you ever get the chance.

That one with the kid from Home Alone, where he makes a giant pancake on the stove and uses a snowshovel to flip it...that was awesome!

ps - "we're a Jamaican bobsled team, we're a Jamaican bobsled team..."
