Frederick Allan "Rick" Moranis is a Canadian actor, comedian, musician, songwriter, screenwriter and producer. He appeared in the sketch comedy series "Second City Television" (SCTV) in the 1980s and several Hollywood films, including "Strange Brew" (1983), "Ghostbusters" (1984) and "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).

In 1997, Moranis began a long break from acting to dedicate his time to his two children as a widower. He did not appear in a live-action film for decades thereafter, although he provided voice-over work for a few animated films, including Disney's "Brother Bear" (2003). He also released comedy albums and made appearances at fan conventions.

After a nearly 23-year hiatus from live-action films, Moranis signed to appear in a new sequel to "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," called "Shrunk."
