Cole Sprouse

Sprouse took a five-year hiatus from acting after starring in the Disney Channel The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and spin-off The Suite Life on Deck where he studied archaeology at New York University.

Whilst there, he was encouraged to audition for the role of Jughead Jones in Riverdale.

He told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert: "My manager begged me to come out for pilot week, and I was doing photography and archaeology, and I said, 'If I don't get anything...I don't think I'm gonna come back.

"And then, sure enough, I booked Riverdale, and it just sort of fell into place."
