Actor Skeet Ulrich took on the role of the repugnant Chris Hooker. Like many archetypal campus king characters, Chris maintains a good guy persona when the occasion calls for it, feigning innocence and side-stepping the truth like an All-American running back. That is, until he doesn't get what he wants, which is when the charm turns off and the mean-spirited bully comes out. Sarah manages to tame him, in a manner of sorts, with a love spell, though it, too, has disastrous results when Chris becomes obsessed and dangerous.
Ulrich has a prolific run in the mid '90s, with "The Craft" serving as one of five films in which he appeared in 1996 alone. Later that year, he joined co-star Neve Campbell in the franchise-launching "Scream," though his character didn't enjoy the same longevity as hers. Ulrich played Billy Loomis, Sydney Precott's boyfriend and initial murder suspect. He reveals himself to have been one of two killers, with friend and co-conspirator Stu (Matthew Lillard), all along — before Sydney shoots him in the head, of course. The actor went on to appear as Vincent, the model-turned-assailant in 1997's acclaimed "As Good as it Gets."
Two decades later, Ulrich took up the role of Forsythe Pendleton Jones II, reformed criminal, father to Jughead and eventual sheriff of the titular town on the CW's "Riverdale." He played the role for five seasons before departing the series; Ulrich departed "Riverdale" because he "got bored creatively" (via Variety).
