Was cast as Phil in City Slickers (1991), but his wife became terminally ill before filming began and he chose to pull out. Daniel Stern replaced him in the role at the last minute.
[on refusing a cameo in Ghostbusters (2016)]: I wish them well, I hope it's terrific. But it just makes no sense to me. Why would I do just one day of shooting on something I did 30 years ago?
