Hudson has had a career rejuvenation thanks to his role as L.C.
Duncan onThe Family Business, which is prepping for its sixth season on BET.
And then, of course, doing other things as well.

I mean, so I’m probably working as much now as I ever have.
I’ve been very fortunate.
So, money worries aren’t there anymore.

So just really, just enjoying, just life, just career-wise, it’s been a blessing.
They’re the ones who sort of sustained me.
I’m like, ‘where are we going with this?’

Because I don’t know.
And then anybody, he pulled it up.
So, he was always a go-to guy when things were a little nuts.

I kind of figured that was never going to happen.
And then Jason Reitman, Ivan Reitman’s son, they pulled it together.
I wanted to do something that was unique.

And when first we read the script, and loved it.
In my 40 years, it was very, very emotional.
And see, it’s just wonderful.

And then the way they put together the tribute to Harold.
I couldn’t have imagined it, but it was just wonderful and very touching.
I mean, Danny and Bill and everybody made their contribution.

So amazing, yeah, and I loved ‘Afterlife’.
And then they came up with Garraka.
I thought, Okay, this is, this would be fun.

I love Paul Rudd, the whole new family…
So I’ve done a lot of movies, been fortunate enough.
And then, obviously, with the new ones, everybody wants to see more.

We have Ernie Hudson, when nobody’s talking.
I guess they know, if we have enough money, Ernie will be there.
So if there’s a steady paycheck in it, Ernie will show up.

So, I love the franchise.
I love being a part of it.
I love how they took the Winston character.

So he’s letting him grow.
I don’t want him looking for a steady paycheck 40 years later.
And so…
Ernie Hudson: “Yeah.

So they gave me a chance to sort of grow in the character.
And so I’d love to see more.
It’s not getting that Marvel dynamic.

It’s a billion dollars, right?
They wouldn’t be doing it if it weren’t… And so I hope so.
I heard there was an animated feature that was being planned.

But like I said, I’m always game.”
The Family Business' first five seasons are streaming on BET+ and Netflix.
Hudson’s most recentGhostbustersmovie,Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, is now streaming on Netflix.
