My Take
Ross Butler is one of those actors I think of as the connective tissue of late-2010s teen TV. He turns up as Zach in 13 Reasons Why, Reggie in that first Riverdale season, and Brett on K.C. Undercover, and what strikes me is how he kept landing on shows that defined a streaming-era moment for younger viewers. The Singapore-born, Ohio State background is a small detail I find telling: it reads like someone who took a less obvious route into Hollywood. I'd love to see him carry something outside the high-school ensemble lane, because he clearly has more range than those roles let him show.
