K.J. Apa & Eli Goree on Riverdale (2018)

Leading man K.J. Apa was stripped down once again on this week's new episode of Riverdale. Episode 5 of the third season found Archie (played by K.J.) attempting to escape from juvenile detention, as his situation grew worse. A failed escape attempt early in the episode, led to him being tied down and branded by the warden while shirtless. He was topless again later for another forced fight and locker room reunion with his disguised girlfriend Veronica. Her escape plot led to his release and he got patched up while in hiding, leading his shirt to come off once again. Archie's wound was inflicted by his prison pal Joaquin (played by Rob Raco) who betrayed him after surprising him with a kiss. He stabbed Archie, revealing it was his only way of escape. Eli Goree returned in the episode as Mad Dog, Archie's former cellmate, who was his final opponent and helped him facilitate his escape by holding off the guards during their fight. He was shirtless for the entirety of his appearance.
