Get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the hilarious response Mark Consuelos received from the creator of Riverdale, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, after his insane debut on 9-1-1!
Mark Consuelos' entrance into the world of 9-1-1 was nothing short of extraordinary. In the Season 9 premiere, his billionaire character met an unexpected fate - being swallowed by a humpback whale! This over-the-top moment not only left viewers in awe but also sparked a funny reaction from his former boss.
Consuelos shared with TVLine the text he received from Roberto, who couldn't help but joke about the creative liberties taken on 9-1-1. "Mark, a whale? We didn't even do that on Riverdale!" Roberto's text read. But here's where it gets interesting - Consuelos had a clever response up his sleeve. He pointed out that 9-1-1 also featured a cover of "Mad World," a song previously used in an iconic Riverdale episode.
"Hey, they did do 'Mad World,' Roberto, and you did it first," Consuelos said with a laugh, reminding his former boss of their shared musical taste.
Consuelos' three-episode arc as the space enthusiast Tripp Hauser continues this Thursday on ABC, and he's loving every minute of it. Playing the newest villain on 9-1-1 has given him a chance to explore a different side of his acting range.
"I think I wear it well, but maybe I need to reflect on why these villainous characters seem to fit me like a glove," Consuelos pondered. "These roles are just so much fun! They allow me to say and do things I'd never normally consider. From the moment I read about my character getting eaten by a whale, I knew it was going to be a delicious role to play."
But wait, there's more! While discussing his time on Riverdale, we had to ask - would Consuelos be open to reprising his role as Hiram Lodge in Disney+'s upcoming series, Afterlife With Archie? Based on Aguirre-Sacasa's zombie-themed Archie comic books, this new project has fans curious.
Consuelos revealed he hadn't heard about the series yet but was more than willing to slip back into Hiram's shoes. "Sign me up! I'd love to work with Roberto again. We had an amazing time on Riverdale, and I'd jump at the chance to collaborate with him once more."
So, 9-1-1 fans, are you loving the space odyssey so far? And for all you Riverdale enthusiasts, would you like to see Consuelos bring Hiram back to life in Afterlife With Archie? Drop a comment and let us know your thoughts! We'd love to hear your opinions on these exciting possibilities.
