The 32-year-old, who is earning rave reviews and awards nominations for his breakthrough performance in May December, is grateful for his time on the teen drama because that is where he honed his craft. "It really helped me refine this work ethic. Riverdale truly was my Juilliard - I was learning and growing and playing and taking risks. I was allowed to do that," Charles played lovable jock Reggie Mantle on Riverdale from the show's third season in 2017 to its finale earlier this year.
