Ghostbusters: Every Cameo Ranked From Worst To Best
7. Ernie Hudson
Role: Uncle Bill
How appropriate that the character most screwed over by the original (in terms of him being a stereotype who was then pretty much written out of the script later) would turn up in the most perfunctory of cameos. Even in the reboot they couldn't give him a better job than undertaker, despite the shockwaves caused so infamously around his and his neice's perceived lower social class than their white counterparts.
Uncle Bill turns up right at the end of the film, demanding to know where his missing hearse is after Patty "borrowed" it earlier (and it subsequently went into the vortex driven by Slimer and his wife). It's pretty much an afterthought of a performance (especially when he could have been one of the cops investigating the Ghostbusters or even the mayor as a politicised gesture of sorts).
At the end of the day, the role's biggest crime is it's just another forgettable one.
