John Candy turned down the role of Louis Tully because his ideas for the character were rejected. According to Ivan Reitman in the DVD commentary, among Candy's suggestions he wanted the character to have a German accent and have a pair of schnauzer dogs. No one felt the German accent was appropriate for the character and since there was "dog imagery" in the movie (i.e.: the Terror Dogs), they felt having Tully own dogs was "too much". Rick Moranis was then cast as Louis. Candy and Moranis are both veterans of Second City TV (1976), along with Harold Ramis. Candy did, however work with each main Ghostbuster - Bill Murray and Harold Ramis in Stripes - Un plotone di svitati (1981), Dan Aykroyd in Non è stata una vacanza... è stata una guerra! (1988), The Blues Brothers - I fratelli Blues (1980) and Steven Spielberg's 1941 - Allarme a Hollywood (1979), Annie Potts in Chi è Harry Crumb? (1989), and Ernie Hudson in Going Berserk (1983). He was also featured in the Ghostbusters music video.
