Sometimes, for an actor like Dustin Ybarra, the stars align as an organically comedic talent where his easy-going nature lends itself to plenty of roles, especially in the stoner mold. From comedies like Hope (2011), We Bought a Zoo (2011), Showtime's Californication, Ted 2 (2015), The Goldbergs, Rick and Morty, and Home Economics, he has continued to thrive. While promoting his latest indie comedy, The Second Coming of John Cooper, Ybarra spoke to us about his recurring role as stoner chef Gabe, who works for Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay's (Utkarsh Ambudkar) bed and breakfast in the CBS adaptation of Ghosts, based on the UK hit of the same name.

Ghosts Star Dustin Ybarra on Having the Time of His Life on CBS Comedy and Playing a Cannibal on 'Gotham'
BC: And I guess final question, Dustin, I was wondering about your time on 'Ghosts,' what do you enjoy most about playing Gabe, and if you've started to film the new season?
Ybarra: I love playing Gabe; it's such a fun, lighthearted character. It's a stonery character, and it's kind of in my wheelhouse, you know what I'm saying? Like, I've always played that character quite a few times. I think the furthest out I've played is probably on 'Gotham,' where I played a cannibal. Who knows? He might have been a stoner, too. He got the munchies, like, I'm going to eat. Yeah, 'Ghosts' is a blast. It's such an amazing show to work on, and I hope it gets picked up for another 72 seasons, man, because it's the best.
