Why is EH so un-noticed among Hollywood?

He is one of the best character actors out there. Why is it that he is so under appreciated? I loved him in The Crow and also Congo, where his line, "I'm your great white hunter, though I happen to be black !" is classic!

He also is able to turn his "token black" character in Ghost Busters a genuine good performance that has real appeal.... go figure, he is one of those lost actors that is not seen in his own time as a great actor, although he truly is one indeed!

You had a "We Hate Winston" CLUB?
Oh that is so hilariously pathetic.

"BECAUSE he is rubbish."
What evidence do you have to support that statement. And don't say it's because he was rubbish in Ghostbusters and didn't contribute anything to the film, because that just don't cut it as evidence. Some people might think he did contribute something to the two GB movies. I, for one, believe that contributed some degree of normality to the otherwise bizarre situations. He also contributed some humour. Just cos YOU and your friends don't like him in GhostBusters doesn't mean he is rubbish.
