Rick Moranis Will Return To Acting to Reprise His Beer Loving Bob McKenzie Role

It's been 20 years since we last saw Rick Moranis in a movie. With movies like Ghostbusters, Little Shop of Horrors, Spaceballs, and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, he was one of the most popular comedic actors from the 80's and 90's. I was a huge fan of Moranis and his work! There came a point where he decided to step away from acting to focus on his family after the passing of his wife.

After all these years, Moranis will make a little acting comeback! According to THR, the actor will reteam with Dave Thomas to reprise their roles of the beer-loving McKenzie Brothers! If you're not familiar with Bob and Doug McKenzie, they are characters that originated on SCTV and eventually found themselves on SNL. There was also a hilarious movie made featuring the characters called Strange Brew. 

The actor's comeback will be part of a benefit concert taking place in Toronto on July 18th. Dave Thomas organized the event for his nephew Jake, who suffered a spinal cord injury that’s left him paralyzed from the waist down. The benefit event will also include Dan Aykroyd, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, and Joe Flaherty, along with the Kids in the Hall cast, including Scott Thompson.

That's a pretty great line-up of comedic actors! It's cool that Moranis will be a part of this. I would love to see Moranis make an epic full-on acting comeback one day. I bet he would be just as great and talented as he was when he was in his prime.
