First Look At KJ Apa As ARCHIE In The CW's RIVERDALE Show
When Shortland Street actor KJ Apa was cast as Archie Andrews in Riverdale, fans were concerned that he wouldn't sport the character's trademark ginger locks. Well, they needn't have worried.
The offcial Archie Comics Twitter account has posted a set snap of KJ Apa as Archie Andrews as he'll appear in the CW's upcoming Riverdale show.
The pilot is currently shooting in Vancouver, and will apparently offer a "subversive" take on the material. Whether you like the sound of that or not, you've got to admit that Apa makes for a very comic-accurate Archie.
Riverdale will also star Camilia Mendes as Veronica Lodge, Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Cole Sprouse as Jughead, Ross Butler as Reggie Mantle, Casey Cott as Kevin Keller, Daniel Yang as Dilton Doiley, Cody Kearsley as Moose Mason, Ashleigh Murray as Josie, Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom, Marisol Nichols as Mrs. Lodge, Mädchen Amick as Alice Cooper, and Luke Perry as Fred Andrews.
