Ernie Hudson has played many roles, but one stands out the most: the one of Winston Zeddemore in the Ghostbusters franchise. The actor played the character in all the films but didn't voice him in any of the two animated series.

Speaking to Brittany Frederick of Cbr to promote his new project, Angry Birds: Mystery Island, Hudson also addressed one of his most recognizable roles: Winston. The actor, who voices Marlon in the new animated series' Episode 4, "A-squawk-alypse Now," noted he would love to do more voice work in the future. That also applies to his Ghostbusters character, whom he played in all four films, but not the animated series, and he would like the chance in the future.
