Actor Mark Consuelos' wild debut on 9-1-1 has everyone talking, especially his former boss, the creator of Riverdale! Consuelos' billionaire character had a jaw-dropping encounter with a humpback whale, leaving viewers stunned and his colleagues in stitches.
But here's the twist: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the creative mind behind Riverdale, texted Consuelos with a hilarious reaction: 'A whale? Even Riverdale didn't go there!' This unexpected message sparked a fun exchange between the two, as Consuelos pointed out the use of the iconic song 'Mad World' in both shows.
Consuelos is currently enjoying his three-episode run as the eccentric Tripp Hauser on 9-1-1, embracing the over-the-top villainy of the character. He reflects on his attraction to these roles, questioning if there's something within him that makes these characters feel so natural. And the whale incident? It was a key part of what drew him to the role.
With the announcement of Disney+'s Afterlife With Archie, based on Aguirre-Sacasa's zombie-themed comics, we can't help but wonder: Will Consuelos reprise his role as Hiram Lodge? He's definitely up for it! But will the fans want to see him back in the villain's shoes?
And this is where it gets interesting: What do you think, fans? Are you loving the space-themed 9-1-1 storyline? And for Riverdale enthusiasts, would you welcome Consuelos' return as Hiram in the new series? Share your thoughts and let the debate begin!
