Riverdale loves nothing more than casting former teen god as the grownup of this show . So far , this show has gifted us with Luke Perry as Archie ’s dad , Fred . We get it on that soon his mama will show up , played by Molly Ringwald . And last night we met Jughead ’s dad , Skeet Ulrich . These former stars as a stratum of meta - irony to the show , but why block off there ?
After all , Riverdale is clearly aspiring tolevels of bivouac antecedently unheard of . We ’ve occur up with several more beloved teenage actors from the ‘ 80s and ‘ 90 the show can make use of , as well as who they should play .
1) Melissa Joan Hart as Hilda or Zelda Spellman
It ’s beenhinted at that Sabrina , the teenaged hag , could make an appearance in season one of Riverdale . In that sheath , we would wish to please check that one of her aunty is played by Melissa Joan Hart , the titular star of the ‘ ninety situation comedy version . The DC shows on the CW always add back actors to act relative of the character they play in the past tense ; why not do it in Riverdale ?
2) Richard Grieco as Hiram Lodge
There ’s no means Veronica ’s father Hiram — who is mete evil in the even Archie Comics — isn’t fall onto this show , despite the fact that his TV personification is missing because of some atrocious financial crime he supposedly entrust . And why not 21 Jump Street ’s forget headliner Richard Grieco ? Please imagine it and love it .
3) Phoebe Cates as Gladys Jones
Look , I ca n’t hold back on the spoilers here at all . Skeet Ulrich plays Jughead ’s father who is , in this macrocosm , a gang drawing card . Also Jughead is homeless and his sister is miss . Riverdale took the comics persona “ Forsythe Pendleton Jones II ” and made him a pack drawing card . I know Cates , best have it off for iconic ‘ 80s film Fast Times at Ridgemont High , retired from do , but she looks enough like Jughead actor Cole Sprouse that I would believe her as his mamma in what I ’m assuming would have to be flashback because everything is so tragical for Jughead Jones ’ homelife . For some understanding .
4) William Zabka as Coach Kleets
It ’s so undeniably fishy to envisage Zabka as a P.E. teacher with an anger problem . If The Karate Kid nemesis Johnny Lawrence did n’t grow to basically be a volatile coach who utter all the clock time about how with child he used to be , then I do n’t recognize what world we live in any longer . It ’s so perfect , I sleep together this cast and will do anything to make it befall .
5) Joey Lawrence as Superintendent Herkimer Hassle
you could not tell me that , with all instructor - and - educatee sex already going on , a teacher with a stolen identity , and , you jazz , a murdered student around , that the strip ’ Superintendent Hassle is n’t going to show up on Riverdale . And what reaction could you have to what ’s going on at Riverdale ’s school day other than “ Whoa ” ? I call up Saved by the Bell ’s Mark - Paul Gosselaar ’s too officious these Day , but I would also accept the former teen heartthrob and Blossom brother in this role .
6) Danica McKellar as Miss Simpkins
In the comedian , this math instructor character was very venial , but it would be a merriment cameo for The Wonder Years ’ McKellar to show up as a teacher for the other thing that McKellar is famous for ( so famous , in fact , she discovered a theorumwhich now partially bears her name ) . Maybe she can aid Veronica get hold of out to her nerdy cousin Marcy and teach her about nerd sufferance or something .
7) Jerry O’Connell as O. O. Wellenmellen
Please let a ostentatious film director come to Riverdale in a later season to make a movie based on the outrage . And please , please , get it be Jerry O’Connell , who throughout a long life history ( Sliders , Crossing Jordan , so much more ) hasprovena erotic love of chew scene that is practically unparalleled . I would like to see him in jodhpurs with a whip and a bullhorn yelling directions in old - timey Hollywood speak , please .
8) Ralph Macchio as Elmer Benjamin Flutesnoot
I ’m fairly certain the show ’s already introduced a science teacher for our master characters , but I would very much wish to watch Archie explode experiments in the Karate Kid ’s face . Wax on , wax off , indeed . Then you could also have a face-off between Flutesnoot and Coach Kleets which would arguably the full thing that could ever happen on TV .
9) Judd Nelson as Mr. Malcolm Meeks
In the comedian , Meeks was a alternative instructor with a shy personality which , it was revealed , was the result of a hurt he stomach as a soldier in Vietnam . Riverdale loves to tackle big issues , and this character is such an obvious way for them to tackle things like PTSD and the treatment of old-timer that I ’m shocked he has n’t depict up yet . And I ’m even more sure that Judd Nelson is a upright fit . Especially after seeing him in the final time of year of Nikita .
10) Literally everyone else as the rotating cast of Riverdale High School counselors
In Archie , the position of counsellor at Riverdale High School is n’t a permanent one . Basically , everyone hates the job and hate how altogether ridiculous the students are , primarily because all they all have visions of their future that are just not realistic . The first one ( Jenkins ) left in a nervous breakdown . His replenishment , Grimley , got ulcers from trying to dispense with the kidskin . Grimley was followed by Burble , who really manage to say passably sane . I kind of get it on the theme of this role being a different person every few episodes and rotate form of former stripling idols essay to rede the Riverdale crew on normal calling path and failing miserably . David Faustino ? Ally Sheedy ? Jason Priestly ? Jennifer Grey ? Literally everyone could discontinue by . Do it , Riverdale , I know you want to .
