Personal Quote:

[on whether it is intimidating to be sexualized on screen as Archie] Not intimidating at all. When I do sexual scenes I'm always thinking that I have a lot of family back home watching this. When I read the pilot though, it wasn't difficult for me to see that's the direction they were taking. Every single episode I have my shirt off so inevitably, it's going to be gnarly. See more »

Trivia:

He auditioned for Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War (2016), but walked out on his audition knowing he wouldn't win the role. He also auditioned for Jason Scott/The Red Ranger in Power Rangers (2017), while his future Riverdale (2017) co-star Ross Butler auditioned for Zack Taylor/The Black Ranger.
