The role of Melanie Presley in “We Have a Ghost” was played by Erica Ash, but portraying the mother of a boy who goes viral for ghost videos is far from her only career accomplishment. Ash made a name for herself early on, starring in sketch comedy programs like “MADtv” and “The Gay Sketch Comedy Show.” Later, she appeared on shows like “Cold Case,” “Legacies,” and “Family Reunion.” In addition, she provided voice work for animated shows like “Bless the Harts” and “Aquaman: King of Atlantis” as well as for the video games “Bloody Roar 4” and “Shenmue II.” But her most prominent live-action credits are “Survivor’s Remorse,” “Real Husbands of Hollywood,” and “In Contempt.”
While she has pursued many projects as an actor, it seems pretty evident that Ash enjoyed her time working on “We Have a Ghost,” posting on Instagram, “Oh, what fun it was to shoot!!! Great cast and crew!!” Ash was also very grateful for what was accomplished in making the film, according to the movie’s director. “After [Erica Ash] saw the movie, she called me up, and she was like, ‘I’m really proud that we made this movie,'” Christopher Landon told Inverse. “This feels special. There’s not enough of these movies out there for us.'” There is no denying that Ash was very satisfied with how the movie turned out, and given her initial reaction, it seems safe to presume that the memory of her “We Have a Ghost” character will haunt her legacy. in the best way
