Proud to earn a credit in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the sequel that earned over 200M dollars at the box-office and then became a giant hit on Netflix! Double-proud to have also been featured in the trailer for the movie as....wait for it....a Cab Driver! All my lines were cut in the regular release, but might live on in extended versions!
