Charles Smith) former roommate and possible murderer.
I did not know this for the long haul.
That said, Denton suspected something was definitely up.
I could sort of piece some things together in prior episodes, he said.
Own my own I started to think, hmm, something is probably a bit off here.
You never know withRiverdale, he cautioned.
You dont know whats going to happen.
Denton also broke down his thoughts on the F.P.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Even though youre not the baby in question, what did you think about the F.P.
Were you excited to learn that he was the real father?Hart Denton:I was.
I love Skeet; hes amazing.
I wish I could have so many more with him because hes such a great actor.
I did hope for that storyline a bit because I love the dynamic between Alice and F.P.
I think its special.
What was it like filming those scenes?It was the best.
We had the best time with it.
We had so much fun.
I love Lili and Cole so much, and theyre truly a joy to work with.
They make every scene so fun.
We didnt rehearse, really, any of the fighting.
Cole and I were like, Lets just do it, lets just go.
Theyre both so wonderful.
You end up pretty brutalized, with a very bloody face.
Then as we started doing takes, I just started spraying it everywhere.
There was just blood all over.
We had to change my outfit a few times.
It was all over my pants.
You tell Betty, Alice, and Cooper that the real long-lost prodigal son ODd.
How difficult is it to say the line He ODd on Jingle Jangle with a straight face?
Weve got to go, Im sorry, Im sorry, Im sorry, can we reset that?
It happens a little bit.
But definitely the first couple of times, its like, What?!
Especially when theyre smiling on the other side.
They dont make it easy on me sometimes.
with Betty at all times.
But we see the heart that she has.
I thought maybe I had some sort of association or affiliation with it.
But I liked that.
I like that Im not a good guy, necessarily, but Im not the Black Hood.
So theres some middle ground there, where theres a bit of room for redemption.
Is Chic truly gone for good?
Did the Black Hood kill him?I think were going to have to wait and see.
And Ive just got to be like, Hang in there.
Just have some hope, have some faith something will happen, because Im right there with you.
Whether or not hes really gone, do you think theres still a lot more to learn about Chic?
Do you still have a lot of unanswered questions?Absolutely.
I think theres so much more.
Ive got more questions now after this episode than I did [before it].
I want to know everything.
I want to know so much more about him.
Im about to call Roberto; Im trying to get Chic a spin-off.
