Camila Mendes Talks Long Audition Process Before Landing 'Riverdale' Role

Camila Mendes is opening up about the process of being cast as Veronica on Riverdale.

The 23-year-old actress revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan that she had just graduated college before booking the show, but she also almost had to drop out of her final semester.

“It was a long process. By the end of it, by the network test, they told me it was me and another girl,” Camila said about the process. “They were like ‘Okay we’re going to let her go, but we’re going to open up another nationwide search.”

“They went and looked for two weeks. I was sitting there waiting to find out,” she added. “And my contract had expired. I was like oh my god am I not the one?”
