 Lorenzo Music (qv) first supplied the voice for Peter Venkman who  was played by Bill Murray (I) (qv) in the films. Reportedly,  Murray did not like that his character sounded like Garfield and the  producers replaced Music with Dave Coulier (qv). Music did provide  the voice of Garfield until his death. Bill Murray later supplied  the voice for Garfield in _Garfield (2004)_ (qv).
