“I didn’t watch OTH, no — which is what he calls it. He’s always like, ‘OTH.’ I’m like, ‘Wait, what is that? Oth? What does that stand for?'” the actress, 24, admitted to Us Weekly when stopping in to our studio to promote her new M3 sunglass collection at Privé Revaux. “He’s like, ‘One Tree Hill.’ I was like, ‘Oh yes, the show you were on. Yes. Great.’

The actor, 37, starred on One Tree Hill from 2003 and 2012, something that paid off when it came to working on Riverdale.

“He gives me a lot of really great advice which I love, and he’s so kind. He’s such a professional. He fit in with all of us perfectly. I don’t know how our casting director does it, but he puts together a flawless group of people that just seamlessly fit,” the Teen Choice Award winner added. “There’s no drama. Everybody likes each other; everyone’s nice.”
