‘Ghostbusters’ star Ernie Hudson talks about his role being cut, whether race played a factor

Ernie Hudson got candid about his role in the original “Ghostbusters” films being cut down and whether or not he thinks race played a factor.

Hudson played Winston Zeddemore, who joins the movie later than the other three actors, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and the late Harold Ramis. The actor previously revealed that the character was supposed to show up much earlier in the movie with a significantly richer back story. At the time he noted that he had a love/hate relationship with the movie as a result.

However, speaking to Yahoo Entertainment in a recent interview, he’s since softened on that position.

“So there are a lot of factors,” Hudson concluded. “Like I said, I think you just try to give people the benefit of the doubt, especially if it’s something you don’t understand. I know what I believe I can do, but not everyone knows that.”
