In 1977, he teamed up with Winnipeg-born writer/director and performer Ken Finkleman on a series of live performances on CBC’s 90 Minutes Live; comedy radio specials; and television comedy pilots, including one called Midweek and another called 1980 (produced at CBC Toronto in 1979).

With SCTV moving to CBC in 1980 (and syndicated to the United States), Moranis and Thomas were challenged to fill two additional minutes with “identifiable Canadian content,” and created a sketch called The Great White North featuring the characters Bob and Doug McKenzie, a couple of Canadian buffoons. By the time NBC ordered 90-minute programs for the U.S. in 1981 (the fourth season of SCTV overall), there had been such favourable feedback from affiliates on the McKenzies that the network requested the duo have a sketch in every show.
In 1980 Moranis was persuaded to join the third-season cast of Second City Television (SCTV) by friend and SCTV writer/performer Dave Thomas. At the time, Moranis was the only cast member not to have come from a Second City stage troupe. He is known for such impressions as Woody Allen, Merv Griffin, and David Brinkley.

What happen to Rick Moranis?

Are Rick Moranis and Steve Martin Friends?
“Steve’s a great athlete,” says Rick Moranis, a close friend and sometime co-star. “He’s like the Jack Nicklaus of comedy.” From Richard Pryor to lesser comics, the best stand-up routine has often been such a naked venting of old traumas and neuroses that it could be considered vertical therapy.
Will Rick Moranis be in the new Ghostbusters?
Moranis passed on lending his voice and likeness to the 2009 release of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, and also decided not to cameo in Paul Feig’s 2016 reboot Ghostbusters, saying that it didn’t make sense to him to “do just one day of shooting on something I did 30 years ago.” (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Did Rick Moranis do his own singing in Little Shop of Horrors?
Singing. Moranis has a number of musical credits to his name, firstly and most notably the film Little Shop of Horrors in which he played Seymour, and later in Parenthood, where he gave an acapella rendition of “Close to You”. He also appeared as himself in an episode of Muppets Tonight.
Who was Louis Tully in Ghostbusters?
Louis Tully is a supporting character of the Ghostbusters franchise. He is an accountant who lived down the hall from Dana Barrett, in an apartment building on Central Park West. Five years later, he became the Ghostbusters’ accountant. He is played by Rick Moranis.
Moranis’ last film roles were Barney Rubble in The Flintstones (1994) and the box-office flop Big Bully (1996). Other than the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids sequels, by the mid-1990s his only appearance in that genre was a 1993 music video, “Tomorrow’s Girls” by Donald Fagen, in which he played a man married to an extraterrestrial woman. Disney’s final film in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise is 1997’s direct-to-video film Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, in which Moranis is the final remaining original cast member. The series Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show also launched in 1997 but without Moranis, which concluded in 2000. He worked for Disney twice more (with his fellow SCTV alumnus Dave Thomas), voicing Rutt the moose in the 2003 animated film Brother Bear and its direct-to-video sequel.
In 1997, Moranis took a hiatus from working in the film industry. He later explained: “I’m a single parent and I just found that it was too difficult to manage to raise my kids and to do the traveling involved in making movies. So I took a little bit of a break. And the little bit of a break turned into a longer break, and then I found that I really didn’t miss it.” After having declined an invitation to make a cameo appearance in 2016’s Ghostbusters, Moranis clarified in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he had not, in fact, retired from film acting due to his hiatus, but instead had become selective about future roles.
In 1997, Moranis began a long break from acting to dedicate his time to his two children as a widower. He wouldn’t appear in a live-action film for decades thereafter, although he provided voice-over work for a few animated films, notably Disney’s Brother Bear (2003) and also released comedy albums and made appearances at fan conventions. Following his nearly 23 year hiatus from live-action films, it was confirmed in early 2020 that Moranis has signed on to appear in a new sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
