Frederick Allan Moranis (born April 18, 1953) is a Canadian comedian and actor, known for roles in several feature films in the 1980s. He appeared in the sketch comedy series Second City Television (SCTV) in the 1980s. He then starred in several Hollywood films, including Strange Brew (1983), Streets of Fire (1984), Ghostbusters (1984) and its sequel Ghostbusters II (1989), Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Spaceballs (1987), Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989, and its 1992 and 1997 sequels), Parenthood (1989), My Blue Heaven (1990), and The Flintstones (1994). Following the death of his wife in 1991, Moranis reduced his work in the entertainment industry, and beginning in 1997 he dedicated his time to their two children. During this period he performed occasionally, including a voice role in Disney's Brother Bear (2003), comedy albums, and appearances at fan conventions. In 2020, he signed to reprise his role from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, in a sequel, but the project was shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He has signed to reprise the role of Dark Helmet in Spaceballs: The New One, scheduled for release in 2027. (Via Wikipedia)
