Which actor plays the Bad Place demon Trevor?

The story behind the answer

Adam Scott plays Trevor, the Bad Place demon in The Good Place.

Trevor first appears as a seemingly friendly afterlife figure who claims to be helping the humans. His real identity is a Bad Place demon, and his mission is to disrupt Michael’s neighborhood and intensify the humans’ suffering. The role uses Scott’s talent for playing superficially pleasant characters whose motives are more complicated than they first appear.

Trevor is especially connected to the early series’ larger mystery about who is really running the neighborhood. His arrival helps expose the conflict between the Bad Place and Michael’s experimental attempt to torture humans through psychological and social pressure rather than conventional physical torment.

Viewers sometimes confuse Trevor with other demon characters, particularly Shawn, Michael, or the actors who play the show’s recurring afterlife officials. Adam Scott is also widely known for playing Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation, which can make the casting connection especially memorable. In The Good Place, however, his character is a demon rather than a human resident.
