The breakout ‘Ghosts’ star shares his advice on beating imposter syndrome, taking big swings and putting heart at the center of your work.
I’ve interviewed a lot of successful people, but Asher Grodman is the first to become famous mostly without pants. Grodman plays Trevor, the forever-trouserless finance bro on CBS’s hit comedy Ghosts. (Backstory on his wardrobe: On the show, Trevor died while pantsless, hence his spirit is forever pantless in the afterlife.)
On the eve of Ghost’s eagerly awaited Halloween special (look for it on-demand, trust me), I spoke to Grodman over video from his trailer. We talked about the skills, mindset and determination it took for him to break into an industry that is famously impossible to break into. His secret? Don’t be afraid to look silly every now and then.
First question, because I can’t tell on this video call: Are you wearing pants?
I am at this moment wearing pants, but I’ve got about two hours left of pantness in my life.
Are there days where you wish the writers wrote your character differently, or do you embrace the pantlessness? There are never days that I wish they wrote it differently, but there are certainly days where you’re just like, pants would be so lovely. When I get to do something else and I get to wear pants, it feels like such a power move.
