PUBLISHED OCT 1, 2018

Lili Reinhart has proved herself as the perfect choice to portray the character of amateur detective Betty Cooper on 'Riverdale', The CW's murder-mystery drama. In fact, she is so good, we cannot imagine any other actress playing the reimagination of the character from the 'Archie Comics'.

However, Camila Mendes, best known for playing Veronica on 'Riverdale,' recently revealed in her interview with Entertainment Weekly that Katherine Langford of '13 Reasons Why' fame had auditioned for the role of Betty. Camila mentioned that she met Katherine while auditioning herself for the CW show, which is available on Netflix library. 

The 22-year-old actress recollected her first encounter with Katherine, "I remember we went out and we got falafel with a guy who was auditioning for Archie."
