Casey Cott

I do wish they'd left his chest hair intact, but CW gonna CW, I guess.
I don't think it's necessarily The CW though. They've had shows in the past where the male lead had a hairy chest.

Maybe it's the showrunner? I wonder why though. The actors on Riverdale don't have to look like teenagers anymore since the next season will have a 7 year time jump (so the characters are now in their early/mid 20s). So the male actors no longer have to shave everything.

Or Casey did it himself?
