Riverdale's Hart Denton Dishes On If Chic Cooper Could Be The Real Black Hood Or Not

Hart Denton is back on an all-new Riverdale tonight and he’s asking you to give Chic Cooper a chance on the show.

Speaking with TVGuide, the newest addition to the cast says that Chic actually has a lot of layers, and you just have to get past them first in order to trust him.

“It’s not black or white. It’s not good or bad. It’s somebody that has had such a difficult upbringing who has had to learn how to make his way in the world on his own,” he says. “It’s not normal, per se.”

Hart adds that “his actions don’t come from a place of understanding from anyone else on the show.”

“You wouldn’t say Archie or Betty or Veronica or Reggie – you wouldn’t see them do this type of thing. That’s apples and oranges. These people grew up in such a different way than Chic did. You can’t pin him as a good or bad guy just yet. You kind of have to wait and see because he’s definitely not boring.”

Hart also added that while you can think he’s the real Black Hood, that might not be true either.

“You have to give Chic some time. Watch and see how he is in different situations. It will be pretty easy to see whether he should be or not.”

Riverdale airs TONIGHT @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
