Ghostbusters Reboot: Michael K. Williams Says He's In A Scene With Slimer

Michael K. Williams, the actor best known of his work on The Wire and Boardwalk Empire, dropped by the Entertainment Weekly Radio studios on Thursday and discussed his role in Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot.

Williams is playing Hawkins, an "FBI agent who works for the mayor." During the film when ghosts appear, Hawkins will be part of a contingent that tells "the people it was a flash in the sky and 'Run along little women with your ghosts, we got this.'"

Williams got to work with all four leading ladies, and gave each of them high praise, but he seemed more excited that he shared a scene with the franchise's signature ghost. "I'm not going to lie, working with Melissa, and Kristen, and Kate, was really dope," he said, "but...I got to work with Slimer, dude. Like Slimer!!! I'm in a scene with Slimer! I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan and it was a dream come true."
