Perhaps one of the most famous nerds of all time, Harold Ramis--or Dr. Spengler, as you may fondly remember him--passed away yesterday from complications with auto-immune inflammatory vasculitis.
He was 69 years old.
While Ramis wore many hats as an actor and writer (Stripes, Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Vacation and Groundhog Day, to name a few), his most famous persona came as the geek Ghostbuster, Egon Spengler.
Maybe it was his voice, Hubble telescopic glasses or unique wit that made him such a successful character in the Ghostbusters saga.
Oh, and he also provided the voice for Egon on the Ghostbusters cartoon, too.
