Lili Reinhart feels cherished looking back at her time as Betty Cooper on Riverdale, calling it a foundation for her career.

The 29-year-old actress opened up about her experience on the series during the November 24 episode of Live! With Kelly and Mark, joined by co-star Mark Consuelos, who played a Hiram Lodge from season two.

“I think it was everything,” Reinhart said. “I was lucky enough to be on a show that really, everything one could do in a show, I did on that show. Every genre, every plot… It’s rare to be on a show that doesn’t really stick to one thing. We just kept on going.”

She added that the diverse challenges of Riverdale helped shape the choices she makes today.

“So I find that the projects that I do now, whatever it may be, there’s some level of what I’m doing now that I did on that show. 

Reinhart described her time on the series as “a perfect runway” for her future in Hollywood, a sentiment she carries into her post-Riverdale projects.

"I’m appreciative of that for the rest of my career," she said.
