Riverdale's Camila Mendes: Mark Consuelos Was 'Perfect Casting' For Veronica's Dad (Exclusive)

Veronica’s dad is headed to Riverdale and actress Camila Mendes is giving us the scoop.

The 23-year-old beauty recently opened up about Mark Consuelos being cast as her on-screen father Hiram Lodge for season two.

“It’s perfect casting. I’m so excited to meet him and see that relationship between Veronica and Hiram,” she told JJJ before they started filming. “Clearly there’s a lot of resentment there and he’s caused a lot of drama in season one and he wasn’t even there (laughs).”

“He was such a mystery and now his arrival is really going to shake things up,” she added.

Camila eventually met Mark and you can see the first Lodge family photo below!
