Character Profiles
Eduardo Rivera
Eduardo Rivera (voiced by Rino Romano) is seemingly a lazy, sarcastic and somewhat clueless character, though he nevertheless makes himself an integral part of the team by being determined and reliable. Eduardo resembles original Ghostbuster Peter Venkman in that, like Venkman, Eduardo is sarcastic, has a penchant for pursuing attractive women, is generally unscientific, and constantly spouts pop culture references. Eduardo has a long-running subplot dealing with a love/hate relationship between him and Kylie. Eduardo's catchphrases include "Maybe he/she is dead" (spoken whenever someone goes missing or unaccounted for) and "We're scientists" (which was originally spoken by Venkman in the film). In the episode "Rage," Eduardo reveals he has an older brother, an NYPD officer, who hates Eduardo for being a Ghostbuster.
Roland Jackson
Roland Jackson (voiced by Alfonso Ribeiro) serves as the mechanic of the group and is the most level-headed and mechanically-gifted of the new Ghostbusters. He helps Egon repair and improve the Proton Packs and Ecto-1. Roland approaches the paranormal from a practical point of view, and in the episode "Fear Itself" reveals that his only fear is the breakdown of his equipment. In the episode "Grundelesque," it is revealed that Roland has a very mischievous younger brother whom he initially refuses to believe is a troublemaker.
Garrett Miller
Garrett Miller (voiced by Jason Marsden) is the most headstrong and enthusiastic of the new Ghostbusters, often claiming that he is in it only for the adrenaline rush. In the episode "Grease," it is revealed that Garrett was born with the inability to walk, and throughout the series he constantly pokes fun at his "condition." In "Fear Itself," it is revealed that Garrett is claustrophobic. Notably, Garrett is the only Ghostbuster in the history of the franchise never to be made as a toy; all other Ghostbusters received at least two toys, including Louis and Janine.
Kylie Griffin
Kylie Griffin (voiced by Tara Charendoff) is the only member of the new team to have any sort of paranormal knowledge before signing up as a Ghostbuster. She began in awe of Egon when the series started, but this soon shifts to a more equal footing. Kylie's calm exterior often sets her as a foil against Eduardo's brashness, as part of the ongoing love/hate dynamic between the two. Her Proton Pistol was a small weapon powered by power packs carried on her belt. She is also the one who most commonly wields the Ghost Traps, though there were occasions where the others used them, most notably Eduardo and Garrett in "Sonic Youth" and Roland in "The Infernal Machine." She is depicted as something of a "Goth" girl, judging by her black hair and lipstick. In the episode "Grease," it is revealed that her parents are divorced and she currently lives alone with her cat. Kylie also serves as the most visible point of contrast between the nihilistic postmodernism of the late 1990s and the much more cheerful and modernist 1980s films and cartoon series.
Egon Spengler
Egon Spengler (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) is the only one of the original four Ghostbusters to become a regular in this spin-off series. Egon takes on the role of mentor for the new team of Ghostbusters. He still lives in the firehouse with Slimer, enabling the building to serve as Ghostbusters headquarters when paranormal activity starts again. He usually leaves the field work to the new members, opting to provide audio backup from the firehouse and information on their current adversary, but has joined them in action when he feels the crisis requires his presence.
Janine Melnitz
Janine Melnitz (voiced by Pat Musick) is the Ghostbusters' original receptionist who returns to the role after being reunited with Egon through his Paranormal 101 class at Columbia University. Like Egon, she watches over the new team and, on occasion, contributes an active part in ghostbusting. According to Egon, she also functions as the team's accountant and collector.
Slimer
Slimer (voiced by Billy West) remains the most unchanged of all the characters in terms of personality. However, he is given a less cartoony look to fit in with the series' overall style.
