Barasch will play Julian Blossom, your classic high school red-headed bully. He’s preppy, rich, and extremely entitled. Handsome, athletic, and cocky, he always gets his way, but in the rare times he doesn’t—like with Veronica—he makes life miserable for everyone around him. He often butts heads with his twin sister, but is also an antagonist to all of our teen characters, most especially Archie.
Barasch (left), a seasoned theater actor, has just played the lead role of Orpheus in the first national tour of the Tony-winning hit musical Hadestown, directed by Rachel Chavkin. On television, Barasch has appeared in CBS's Bull (2016) and HBO's How to Make It in America.

Walcott (right) is Clay Walker, a teen renaissance man. He is studious, artistic, well-read, and well-traveled. An Army brat, Clay comes from a loving family and is a champion for social justice. He is very open-minded in his art and his sexuality. As he does in the comic books, Clay will have an impactful friendship with fellow queer character Kevin Keller.
Canadian actor Walcott (pictured) is best known for his regular role of Charles in Vrak TV's Le Chalet. His other series roles include The Bold Type, Quantico and District 31, among others. His film work includes X-Men: Apocalypse and most recently Roland Emmerich's sci-fi pic Moonfall.
In Riverdale, after a teenager was murdered within the town of Riverdale, this group of teenagers try to unravel the evils lurking within this seemingly innocent town.

Riverdale stars KJ Apa as Archie Andrews, Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge and Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones.
The Archie Comics series is developed and produced by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Jon Goldwater also produce.
