10 Actors You Didn't Know Played The Same Character In Different Movies

7. Dan Aykroyd - Ray Stantz (Ghostbusters & Casper)

Dan Aykroyd's signature role is surely that of Ghostbusters' Ray Stantz, a role he played in the first two movies, a number of animated TV series and video games, and also the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Oh, and 1995's big-screen adaptation of Casper.

While Carrigan (Cathy Moriarty) and her assistant Dibs (Eric Idle) attempt to have the McFadden mansion purged of Casper's unruly uncles - better known as the Ghostly Trio - none other than Ray Stantz is seen running out of the house, in full Ghostbuster regalia no less.

On his way out he says to Carrigan and Dibs, "Who you gonna call? Someone else!," before fleeing the scene.

And to dispel any doubt about the cameo, Aykroyd's costume has a visible nametag bearing the moniker "Stantz."

In a movie that features cameos from Clint Eastwood, Rodney Dangerfield, Mel Gibson, and even Tales from the Crypt's Crypt Keeper (John Kassir), an appearance from Ray Stantz actually seems pretty damn normal.
