"Our army is a militant group, sometimes a meritocracy, and basically the goal is to protect the children," he continued. "We're trying to protect everyone but I definitely rule with an iron fist. You know, those guys that can't get out of the high school glory days so they still go to the same bars and still talk about their high school football achievements. That's him."

Canadian-born Cody got his start in 2016.

Cody was born in British Columbia, Canada and got his film start in a short called Borealis in 2016. He went on to act in the Power Rangers movie franchise, before eventually landing the recurring character of Moose on Riverdale.

"For a lot of stuff with actors, we don't always go out for roles that we really are passionate about, sometimes we just get roles for the job," he continued to Entertainment Focus. "This is one of those roles where as soon as I got the script and I read the pilot, I ordered the graphic novels immediately."

"I fell in love with this story, the world and the character," he gushed. "This is a dream role for me. I put every effort into booking this part and thankfully I got it. I actually had a really good feeling about this one. I don't normally get that, which is why I ordered the graphic novels immediately. I lucked out."
