Daniel Edward Aykroyd, born in Ottawa, initially pursued studies in psychology, criminal sociology, and political science at Carleton University, where his comedy journey took off. He co-wrote sketches for a private cable company, igniting his passion for acting. At 20, he joined The Second City comedy troupe in Chicago and Toronto, marking the start of his career. In 1975, Aykroyd joined "Saturday Night Live" as a founding member of the "Not Ready For Prime Time Players," crafting iconic sketches like "The Blues Brothers" with Belushi and "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" with Steve Martin. The success of "The Blues Brothers" sketch led to a full-length feature in 1980, with Aykroyd writing and producing the movie soundtrack, defying the disco and punk era. His versatile talent shines in roles like Dr. Ray Stantz in "Ghostbusters," Jessica Tandy’s son in "Driving Miss Daisy," a single father in "My Girl," and an assassin in "Grosse Pointe Blank," showcasing both comedic and dramatic prowess.
following years after the events of both movies, after through several adventures and tasks the original team sort of disbanded as Egon disappeared and passed, Venkman moved on and leaving Ray only taking part time along Winston as well Janine (whom sometime after the events of Ghostbusters II became a new member of the Ghostbusters but before the events of this) in charge to train and mentor a new team of Ghostbusters to be tasked with dealing with strange occurrences regarding supernatural stuff related to various myths and urban legends as well as a mysterious coming war in the spirit realm between the supernatural ghosts and the ghouls (spiritual entities like Gozer who were never alive to begin with). a mysterious being known as Samhain too.
