Mark Bryan Wilson

Mark Bryan Wilson (born September 10, 1958) is an American puppeteer, and puppet maker. He made his most memorable contribution, in the film arena, by stepping into the character suit of the iconic green ghost, Slimer (aka Onionhead), in the original smash hit comedy movie Ghostbusters (1984), where he acted opposite Dan Aykroyd, and he “slimed” Bill Murray. Mark was also one of the key artists responsible for hand crafting many of the fantastic ghosts for that film.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
