Dustin Ybarra Hopes Ghosts Runs for 'Another 72 Seasons,' Embraces Stoner Archetype

Dustin Ybarra, known for his laid-back comedic roles, is having a blast as the ghostly stoner chef Gabe on CBS's hit series, Ghosts. Ybarra, who has a knack for playing affable slacker types, finds his recurring role perfectly within his comedic wheelhouse. He even joked about a previous, darker character on Gotham possibly being a stoner cannibal — talk about range!
Ghosts, a supernatural comedy adapted from the UK original, follows a young couple living in a country estate haunted by its former residents. Ybarra's Gabe has been a delightful addition since Season Four, embodying a 'fun, lighthearted' spirit among the spectral ensemble. His enthusiasm is infectious: Ybarra hopes the show runs for 'another 72 seasons,' calling it 'the best.' Fans clearly agree, as Ghosts returns for a sixth season, bringing more laughs and spectral shenanigans to Paramount+.
“Who knows? He might have been a stoner, too. He got the munchies, like, I'm going to eat.”
Catzye Take
It's always great to see actors genuinely connect with their roles, and Ybarra's enthusiasm for Gabe is infectious. While Ghosts is a live-action series, its blend of supernatural comedy and quirky character dynamics will resonate with fans of many anime and manga series. A fun, lighthearted ghost story is a timeless concept.
