Harold Allen Ramis (November 21, 1944 – February 24, 2014) was an American actor, director, and writer specializing in comedy. His best-known film acting roles are as Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989) and Russell Ziskey in Stripes (1981); he also co-wrote those films. As a writer-director, his films include the comedies Caddyshack (1980), National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), Groundhog Day (1993), and Analyze This (1999). Ramis was the original head writer of the television series SCTV, on which he also performed, and one of three screenwriters of the film National Lampoon's Animal House (1978).
Ramis' films have influenced subsequent generations of comedians and comedy writers. Filmmakers including Jay Roach, Jake Kasdan, Adam Sandler, and Peter and Bobby Farrelly have cited his films as among their favorites. He won the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay for Groundhog Day.
Ramis was born on November 21, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Ruth (née Cokee) and Nathan Ramis, who owned the Ace Food & Liquor Mart on the city's far North Side. Ramis had a Jewish upbringing. In his adult life, he did not practice any religion. He graduated from Stephen K. Hayt Elementary School in June 1958 and Nicholas Senn High School in 1962, both Chicago Public Schools, and in 1966 from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, where he was a member of the Alpha Xi chapter of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity.

Plot: Private Detective Jack Holiday (James Davies) is back in LA. But why he's returned, and more importantly, why he left, unravels four years earlier. Coerced into an unlikely alliance with crooked cop Tony Malloy (Darren Freebury-Jones), Holiday finds himself riding shotgun into the belly of the criminal underworld, caught up in a web of murder and double-cross that stretches from the gutters of downtown to the corridors of Beverly Hills. This is the story of a man searching for answers. This is the story of a man searching for redemption. This is the story of the men who wish to destroy them both. This is the story of Blanc.

This is our full interview from 2010 with comedy guru Harold Ramis just after Landmarks Illinois declared him a Legendary Landmark for his "extraordinary contributions to Chicago's civic and cultural skyline."
