He played Sherman Tully, Louis's (Rick Moranis) cousin in Ghostbusters 2, but his part was cut. https://imgur.com/a/Hirm3sv

He reached Gene Shalit (still alive btw at 98) levels of facial hair! Andrea Martin plays the female lead too.

IMDB says his first film is Foxy Lady (1971). Levy is in it too.
