More than 30 years later, the newGhostbustersare getting ready to hit the big screen, with an all-star cast lead byKristen Wiig,Melissa McCarthy,Kate McKinnonandLeslie Jones. This time out,Chris Hemsworthis stepping in to play their new secretary, Kevin. Today we have a preview that’s all about Kevin, in honor of a special day celebrating his noble profession.
April 27th is Administrative Professionals Day, and the newGhostbusters' assistant, Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), is here to remind you to celebrate your assistant tomorrow. Kevin sets his own unique (and extremely handsome) bar as an assistant. Not every office can have a Kevin, but if your assistant keeps you organized, running on schedule, and your workplace completely free of ghosts, then he or she is just the kind of assistant that deserves celebrating. Check out all that Kevin has to offer in this Kevin vignette from theSony Pictures YouTubepage.
