-I´ve got to say
I´m a giant fan,
as you probably heard,
that I am a fan of your show.
-Only a couple times.
-Yeah.
I was watching and I go --
´Cause I was a fan
of "Archie" comics growing up,
and I go,
"How are they gonna
make this work as a show?"
´Cause I didn´t understand,
like, you know,
it was, like, Archie and
Jughead, Betty and Veronica.
Then --
Ooh, it´s dark.
[ Laughter ]
-I think they just tossed around
the word "perverted,"
like, seven times.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, but I mean --
-"Perverted"!
-There´s a murder,
and it´s one of --
It´s -- It´s your brother.
I mean, I´m not --
No spoilers tonight, yeah.
-That´s not a spoiler.
-No. Well, you never know.
-It´s not my brother.
Her brother
-I mean, yeah.
-But they´re both twins.
-And I go, "Whoa.
This is actually fantastic."
I love it.
There´s so many good special,
fun cameos of people in this
that every other episode,
I´m like "Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh!"
And again, I don´t want
to give it away,
because I freaked out.
I mean, your dad?
-We were so psyched.
Yeah, we were psyched
when we found out
that you were a fan of the show.
-Well, this is why -- This is
why I´m very, very impressed.
First of all, your voice,
your accent...
[ Laughter ]
Where are you from?
It´s not Aust--
-I´m from New Zealand.
Not Australia.
I´m from New Zealand.
-New Zealand.
[ Scattered cheers ]
And -- And can you --
You´re not even
a real redhead, are you?
-No. I´m not an American,
I´m not a real redhead.
None of it really fits, but...
[ Laughter ]
-So, when you auditioned
to play Archie, were you like,
"There´s no way
I´m gonna get this"?
-Absolutely.
-Right?
-And I was even more terrified
about what I would
look like with red hair.
-Oh, really?
What color is your hair?
-´Cause it´s either
gonna go two ways.
-Why?
-What? Why´s that, huh?
-Yeah, why´s that?
-Well, if you´re not ginger.
Like, you´re gonna suit it,
or you´re not
gonna suit it at all.
-That´s true, yeah.
-But it kind of,
I think, worked.
-I think it suits him.
-I prefer him this way.
-We honestly prefer him
with his red hair.
-What color is your hair?
-It´s, like, black.
-It´s exactly like your color.
-Well, I mean, this is one of
the finest toupees on Amazon.
[ Laughter ]
Thank you for saying that.
I appreciate --
I really appreciate that.
I want to hear, like, how --
´Cause -- I --
This is what
Jughead looks like, right?
So, you got the cartoon.
That´s Jughead, right?
So I go, "How are they
gonna make this work?
Are they gonna keep the crown?"
Were you concerned at all?
-They just made me turn profile,
and they measured
the size of my nose.
-No.
-They were like, "Mm, okay."
-No, but, Cole, did you know
that they were gonna
keep the crown?
Or how were they gonna
play that off?
-No, we didn´t know.
I guess I had asked
pretty early on,
and they didn´t really have
a solid idea.
But I actually have
the crown here.
I brought it -- for you.
-You brought it?
´Cause I mean, this --
they made it work.
This is the crown in the show.
-Yeah.
It´s more like a beanie.
-Yeah.
-It´s a beanie.
-It´s fantastic.
-You brought it here?
-Could you put it on?
It´s all right.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Are you sure?
I mean...
-There´s a way to do it.
-Really?
It´s the real one?
-Don´t smell it.
-Don´t smell it.
-Don´t smell it.
-I´m not gonna smell it!
-There´s only
one of those beanies.
-There´s only one --
For real?
-Yeah.
-Is this the right side, like --
Like this?
-Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Just like that, that´s it.
You got it.
Don´t even pull it down.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Now look in the camera and say,
"I´m weird, I´m a weirdo."
♫♫
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
I´m honored to do this.
This is really fun.
