Harlan Bojay

Harlan Bojay was a homeless man living in New York City around the time that the Ghostbusters were first starting to become famous. He was best friends with another drifter, Robert Learned Coombs, and the pair often hung out together, either in front of the Publlic Library (where they would usually be chased away by the irate administrator) or in the general vicinity of the Shandor Building where they would ogle Dana Barrett as she went to and from work.

Comments

• Bojay and Coombs are apparently based on a pair of minor characters in the script who were played by Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray in dual roles as a pair of homeless men. Their scenes were ultimately deleted and now the pair only appear in Richard Mueller's novelization, which is also where their individual names come from (as the script simply identifies them as "bums").
