Where You've Seen The Cast Of Netflix's We Have A Ghost Before

Every movie needs an antagonist, even a light-hearted supernatural family comedy like "We Need a Ghost." Filling that role in the Netflix movie is Tig Notaro, one of today's brightest comic stars. Tig was born in Pass Christian, Mississippi, before bouncing around from Houston to Denver. Eventually she landed in Los Angeles, where she began doing stand-up in the late 1990s after a brief career running her own booking and management firm. After the turn of the millennium, Tig found some success on television when in 2004, she appeared on "Comedy Central Presents."

Soon roles in TV comedies came her way, with a recurring part in "The Sarah Silverman Program" in the late 2000s, and a role on "In the Motherhood" in 2009. But it wasn't just indie work, as she later secured guest appearances on everything from "Community" to "The Office" in the early 2010s. She then got her own show in 2015, the semi-autobiographical comedy "One Mississippi" on Amazon Prime. She plays Tig Bavaro, an analog for herself, a young woman who deals with the death of her mother, a cancer diagnosis, and a double mastectomy, all hardships she encountered in her real life.

In 2019, Notaro joined the cast of "Star Trek: Discovery" in a recurring role as engineer Jett Reno. But audiences may also recognize her voice thanks to her popular comedy podcasts, "Don't Ask Tig" and "Tig and Cheryl: True Story," as well as her contributions to the now-defunct series "Professor Blastoff."
