After the runaway success of the blockbuster Ghostbusters film, ABC decided an animated series based on the original would be a good idea - and it was! Arsenio Hall lent his voice to the character Winston Zeddemore in The Real Ghostbusters series for a full three seasons. We'll even share a fun fact about the show. Actor Ernie Hudson, who played Winston Zeddemore in the live action film, also auditioned for the animated show, but he lost out to Hall.
Hall's stint on The Real Ghosbusters lasted from 1986 to 1987 and in 1988 he starred alongside Eddie Murphy in the comedy film, Coming to America. After dabbling in acting for most of the late '80s, Hall finally settled down for a while and hosted The Arsenio Hall Show from 1989 to 1994. The show was briefly revived again from 2013 to 2014.
