I had no idea that one of the Ghostbusters II babies, grown up, had died. Usually, movie studios will cast twins in baby and child roles in order to get around child labor laws. You film one for a few hours and then swap it for the one resting. It saves time in the studios. For me, just don’t write babies into the movie. Then again, I am not a fan of babies anyway. Baby Ocasar played a significant role in the weaker GB: II.
William T. Deutschendorf and Henry J. Deutschendorf II both played the role of Baby Oscar. Unlike other child actors, these twins never had a desire to continue acting. They got into martial arts and became teachers at the West Coast Martial Arts Academy.
Henry died back in 2017 from suicide and mental issues. He was only 28 years old. Having suffered from depression over the years. It is a little disheartening to see this baby in Ghostbusters II in the 80s, and now he’s no longer with us. After Harold Ramis died, knowing that this young person is no longer with us leaves a dark cloud over the movie.
Will still works at the school and does videos on their website.
