Earnest Lee Hudson (born 17 December 1945 in Benton Harbor, Michigan, USA) is an American character actor. He has appeared in dozens of film and television roles throughout his career, but is perhaps best known for his roles as Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters (1984) and its 1989 sequel, Sergeant Darryl Albrecht in The Crow (1994), and Warden Leo Glynn in the HBO series Oz (1997–2003). Hudson has also acted in the films Leviathan (1989), The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992), Airheads (1994), The Basketball Diaries (1995), Congo (1995) and Miss Congeniality (2000). He had a cameo in the remake of Ghostbusters (2016) and will reprise his role as Winston in the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2020).

I met Ernie at Collectormania Glasgow in August 2008.
