‘Ghosts’ Scene Stealer Betsy Sodaro on Nancy’s Unique Backstory and the Role She Originally Auditioned For


'Ghosts' scene stealer Betsy Sodaro on Nancy's unique backstory and the role she originally auditioned for.

The Cholera Ghosts all began as pretty much an entity of nameless specters covered in sores who aren’t accepted in the main house, but that didn’t stop Sodaro from building a whole character biography. “And she kind of clung to them and listened to them talk about surfing and absorbed their whole lifestyle.” Suggest that Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter should play the repairman in a flashback on the show, and Sodaro literally gasps. Memorable guest spots on shows like “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Superstore” proved she could make a meal out of a minimum of lines, and she got to share the screen with legends like Adam Sandler in “Hubie Halloween” and Seth Rogen in “An American Pickle.” But it was the Kathy Bates-starring Netflix comedy “Disjointed,” in which she played Dabby, a regular customer at a cannabis dispensary, that shifted things for her.
