Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Muziani was cast in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire as the Taxi Driver (In Traffic), a minor on-screen role that appears in Chapter 13 of the film.3 In the scene, the driver is stuck in Chinatown traffic during a summer heatwave when Garraka releases the Death Chill over New York City. He looks up at the sky as the weather shifts instantaneously from sunshine to darkness, wind, and supernatural winter cold, and the wind blows his cap from his head. The character had written dialogue, but the lines were cut before the film's final release.
