He's the MAN You've Come to Know

Feature story on Wayne State University alumnus Ernie Hudson, 60, a veteran character actor best known for his role in 1984's "Ghostbusters." He currently has a recurring role on TV's "Desperate Housewives." Hudson earned his undergraduate degree in theater from WSU in 1973. Earlier this year, WSU honored him with a Distinguished Alumni Award. "Wayne State taught me discipline. I've worked professionally for 40 years as a result of the training I got at Wayne State," said Hudson. "When I grew up, there were so many talented black kids who never found their place. If it wasn't for Wayne State, I can't imagine what my life would've been like. I'm really indebted to them."
