Ahead of the big episode, actor Asher Grodman — who plays Trevor — spoke exclusively with PopCulture.com about what fans could expect. “For a few scenes, you won’t have to see my thighs,” he joked. “You’ll meet yet another Woodstone relative. You’ve got Sam, you got Hetty, you had Elias. It’ll be another one – this lineage.” Grodman then added that he too was eager to learn the truth behind Trevor’s lack of pants due to months of buildup, but the reveal was something that took him by surprise. “When I read it, I was completely surprised, so I would imagine that other people will be too,” he said. “I’ve gotten a lot of fan theories about what might have happened and all I can say is that you’re all wrong.”

Speaking about his role and how Trevor fits into the hilariously brilliant ensemble cast, Grodman said, “I think that for me, Trevor is the kid brother of the group, but he’s the most closely aligned with the real world, the living world.” He added, “I think in this episode [“Trevor’s Pants”], the family that he identified himself with is maybe superseded by the family that he is currently with and I find that to be very sweet.” 

Ghosts airs Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on CBS. It is also available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+. Anyone interested in checking out all that Paramount+ has to offer can click here for a free streaming offer.
