Grodman plays the pantless, former Wallstreet ghost Trevor in Ghosts. When responding to Mark Hamill, the Ghosts actor suggested a hilarious scene of Trevor fighting Richie Moriarty’s Pete in “an epic lightsaber battle.”
“This is so kind and such a thrill, especially coming from someone who has brought so much joy into our lives. Pete and Trevor will have an epic lightsaber battle to celebrate (though explaining lightsabers to the other ghosts will be … [difficult],” Grodman said with a facepalm emoji.
Each ghost comes from different eras, like Thorfinn (Devan Long) from the age of Vikings and Alberta (Danielle Pinnock) from the Prohibition era. Grodman’s Trevor has gotten several headaches from trying to explain real technologies, let alone lightsabers.
“Very nice of you to say Asher, and I look forward to your battle with Pete,” Hamill responded. “It can’t be easy making a narcissistic womanizer so likable, but you are effortlessly terrific doing that in every episode. Have to say I’m envious of you working the way I am at home: without pants.”
However, Grodman may have made the lightsaber comment as a joke. Pop culture from the 70s and 80s has become one of the common grounds for Trevor and Pete, though, like their love of Ghostbusters in the Halloween episode.
