The CBS Ghosts TV show has a cast of characters with some odd aspects. Rose McIver plays Sam, who interacts with all her ghostly co-stars. Meanwhile, Utkarsh Ambudkar has to rehearse pretending most are not there. However, in Ghosts, Asher Grodman had to adapt to acting every scene without pants. Asher Grodman revealed when he drops his drawers on set to give his best performance, even if it makes his Ghosts cast members a bit uncomfortable. With Ghosts Season 2 on the way, they had all better adapt to it.

The Asher Grodman ‘Ghosts’ character Trevor is an adaptation of Julian Fawcett from the BBC ‘Ghosts’
The CBS comedy Ghosts is a US version of the BBC Ghosts, featuring several similar spirits. Asher Grodman’s Ghosts character, Trevor, died in a compromising position in a shirt, tie, and very little else. The role mirrors Julian Fawcett from the BBC show, played by Simon Farnaby (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story).
“The pant thing, it’s funny, because when we got to shoot the pilot in December of 2020, Trevor’s Tara Reid thing was like the first thing up,” Grodman told CBS Local News just before Ghosts Season 1 premiered. “And it dawned on me the night before. I was like, ‘I’ve never done any of this without pants on.’”
If Grodman was going to bring his best acting to the haunted Woodstone Mansion, he had to rehearse. He especially had to adapt since CBS renewed Ghosts Season 2 with a batch of other shows.
“And so suddenly, I’m in my hotel room just running through lines without pants on, trying to get used to it,” Grodman said.
